How can we show cove light effect on Black marble material

How can we show cove light effect on Black marble material.
I am trying but the material absorbs the light effect.

Sorry, but I don’t understand what you mean. Can you please explain. Maybe showing a real-life reference photo would help?

Onyx marble is translucent, esp. in veins.

Easiest solution would be self-illuminating map.

Using actual translucency/SSS means you have to model the planes realistically thin (1-2cm).
