There is something that me call attention,  occured that
translating/studying the part of Patterns- Hexagon ( for example ) of
the manual of POV-Ray 3.1,  me encounter with a test where was
utilized the texture "Black_Marble", But this texture I no have in the
file "textures.inc".

I Ask :The manual is not completely updated to the version 3.1 or to
my me some lack file?

Here you go !
This is the black marble texture you are looking for.

#declare Black_Marble =
texture{ pigment{marble turbulence 1.0 color_map{
[0.0,0.3 color rgb<0.30,0.30,0.30>color rgb<0.45,0.45,0.45>]
[0.3,0.7 color rgb<0.45,0.45,0.45>color rgb<0.60,0.60,0.60>]
[0.7,0.9 color rgb<0.60,0.60,0.60>color rgb<1.00,1.00,1.00>]
[0.9,1.0 color rgb<1.00,1.00,1.00>color rgb<1.00,1.00,1.00>]
}}}

An interesting point there, Juan, as I don't recall ever seeing a Black_Marble 
in any of the 'includes' (there is a *blue-black* marble with *red* veins 
however). I say "interesting" because if you look at the menu of 3.1 under 
Options/MessageWindow/TilingOptions a Black Marble bmp file is there, so it 
must have been made from something... Maybe the idea was that it's too simple 
to make the opposite of the White_Marble and left it up to others to create.
So, here, everyone:

#declare Black_Marble_Map =
color_map {
    [0.0 rgb <0.2, 0.2, 0.2>]
    [0.8 rgb <0.5, 0.5, 0.5>]
    [1.0 rgb <0.9, 0.9, 0.9>]
}

// Black marble with white veins.
#declare Black_Marble = 
pigment {
    marble
    turbulence 1
    color_map { Black_Marble_Map }
}

Perhaps it was in one of the example scene files included with
Pov, for example the one in question.. All of the tutorials in the
docs have a corresponding example scene available so you
don't have type everything in to get started.

Doesn't anybody read the manual ? Tee Hee !
