The granite, agate or bumps patterns, properly scalled should gives good 
results. For the agate pattern, you'll need to provide a black to white 
color_map.
As those noise seems to tend to have few grays, I'd suggest a color_map 
similat to this:
color_map{[0.4 rgb 0][0.6 rgb 1]}

Change the transition range up or down to get darker or brighter patterns.
Broaden the transition range to reduce contrast, tighten it to increase it.
