There is no real need to use layered textures.

You can apply a pattern to SSLT. You just need to use a texture_map. The 
pigment don't realy mather.

box{-1 1 texture {agate texture_map{
[0 finish{subsurface{<25, 24, 22>, <0.007, 0.008, 0.009> }]
[1 finish{subsurface{<0.8, 0.3, 0.01>,<0.0021, 0.0025, 0.00946> } ]
	}
	scale 0.4
	}
interior{ior 1.43}
}

This gives an agate pattern that closely match the pigment.
