Inspiration Pic

I Threw together a collection of images that relate to what im hoping to achieve at the end of this shader writing assignment

Im hoping to have a marble that has a clear shell, with a pattern inside, some kind of SSS shader to give the appearance of layers.  The hopefully, use some kind of co-shader to have the marble glow as they get closer to other marbles, and get cracked as hey collide
