Looking good and interesting.

Something I noticed with sslt in my settings, is that veins seem to
become really 'thin' or, more probably, 'transparent', and thus tend to
/disappear/ from the view except with higher magnification.
There are still a lot of issues with the technique (the layered textures
I mentioned for instance) which are not (fully) addressed in the
documentation as-is. Not for nothing that the technique is still
experimental. However, we may get at something workable if not
breath-taking ;-) on the way.
The mm_per_unit setting is essential and its default (10) seems at first
glance to be ok for the granite. I am trying to get a grip on how to
tweak the translucency parameter. For instance, I experimented with the
use of a complementary colour instead of a regular colour taken from the
granite colour_map, with interesting results. Visual examples later on.

Yes, and yes, and yes.
