The shadowy tiger stripes of Nero Madera provide a very "Matrix-like" visual - all futuristic shiny black & deep grey. "Nero Madera" is a bit of a misnomer for a marble, as it roughly translates to "black wood". Conversely, one can understand how its name came to be bestowed: the undulating ridge pattern of this black-and-charcoal marble does seem to mimic the bark & inner rings of trees.
