translucent marbl

[prey1979]

Hello all... im currently working on a small rendering and well my boss wants to use this marble material on a kinda screen wall. Its really thin marble lamenated in glass. By doing this the marble is thin enough to be translucent and shadows can be seen on it like a paper screen and it appears to glow when backlit... can anyone please give me an idea how to create this material? i have a sample of the marble and im having a hard time trying to make it look right. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

Can you post the marble material your using? Then we can give it look and make some suggestions.
