Microillusions published a two disk expansion set of Marble and Wood IFF 
texture/pictures (expansion for Photon Paint, but of course you could use
them for anything) a few years ago. The pix were all in HAM mode.

Microsearch just recently published a 5-disk set of "Materials
Texture Library - Volume 1:Stone" which are all superbitmap HAM IFF
pictures.

A fellow named Robert Trelease Jr. doing business as Rapid Eye
Technology, 2313 5th St. #1, Santa Monica, CA. 90405 has published
"Digital Marble 1", a collection of overscan interlaced HAM
images of marble which he sells for $15.00 plus $1 sales tax from the
above address. He also has a free demo disk with a sample IFF and
some sample "uses" type pictures.

I have a full page 24-bit flatbed Epson ES-300C scanner connected
to my Amiga and if you wanted to send me a photo or picture of a
favorite marble texture I'd scan it and send it back to you on a
disk you supply - I could massage the scan into any Amiga IFF mode
or send you the actual 24-bit scan file for you to fiddle with. 
Email me if interested and I'll supply you with my mailing address.

So IFF Marbles are OUT there - you just have to do some very low level
sniffing around to get them.
