A translucent stone is a type of mineral or gemstone that allows light to pass through it, but does not permit clear visibility of objects on the other side. This characteristic gives these stones a soft glow and often enhances their aesthetic appeal. Common examples include opal, jade, and certain types of calcite. Translucent stones are often used in jewelry and decorative items for their unique visual properties.

The white smooth stone commonly used to make jars, statues, and miniatures is called alabaster. This soft, translucent mineral is prized for its workability and beautiful appearance, often showcasing delicate veining. Alabaster has been used since ancient times for various artistic and functional purposes.

Even the Romans and Persians started to use horse hair (natural fibers!) as reinforcement and/or used glass pearls to make solid walls translucent. We know that since - at least - the 50s, there has been something like textile concrete. Architects like Bill Price (Rotterdam, Houston), Will Wittig (Detroit), Francesco Passaniti (Paris), Sensitile (Detroit), Aron Losonczi (Czongrad), Christoffer Dupont (Copenhagen), Luccon (Lustenau), Andreas Bittis (Aachen) and others started and published their translucent concretes - all with optical fibers … So - who, how and where translucent concrete was "invented" is by no means a question anymore... It is now state of the art.

If you mean floor "slabs", it's probably Alabaster you are refering to. Marble is not translucent and Alabaster has been used in walls of Temples to increase drama and atmosphere by holding lamps behind them. Hope that's what you mean.
