'''Marbleizing''' (also spelt '''marbleising'''<ref>{{cite web | title=Marbleize definition and meaning | website=Collins English Dictionary  | url=https://www.collinsdictionary.com/dictionary/english/marbleize | access-date=2 February 2023}}</ref>) or '''faux marbling''' is the preparation and finishing of a surface to imitate the appearance of polished [[marble]]. It is typically used in buildings where the cost or weight of genuine marble would be prohibitive. Faux marbling is a special case of faux painting used to create the distinctive and varied patterns of marble - the most imitated stone by far.
