Black Marble

SQ Mold
Perfect design but maybe too much gold
1,5 teaspoons of active charcoal
1,5 teaspoon sodium lactate
3 tsp fragrance aprox 15g

I mixed charcoal with the batter instead of oils and its fine
Activated Charcoal: 1 tea spoon per pound of oils. Mix charcoal with the soft oils
Sodium Lactate: 1 tea spoon per pound of oils. Mix sodium lactate with lye water (temp 130ºC or less) add to optimum temperature when adding to the batter
Titanium Dioxide: dispersing it in a lightweight liquid oil at a rate of 1 tsp. colorant to 1 Tbsp. oil.
1 teaspoon = 4,27g
1,5 tsp = 6,40g
1 pound = 453,60g
1,43 pounds = 650g (total oils)
Big bawl = 270,4g
Big Jar = 107,7g
Small jar = 37g
Silicon bawl = 28,3g

Thickness
Black trace: middle to hard
Gold trace: middle
Gol: to get gaps and textures so the mica powder fill the gaps and gives it a marble/ line effect.

Batter
160g gold
mix of oil drops with gold mica powder for brighter colour to decorate the top

Steps
1 pour some gold batter (high distance) on top of the black jar
2 pour butter (high distance) making S moves from top corner to bottom (without spreading the batter to let the thickness make textures, no banging the batch on the table. (corners will be filled with its own weight)
3 layer of gold mica powdered with fine strainer
4 pour amounts of thick black batter, (big spoon size) moving the jar softly from side to side with gaps in between (without spreading the batter)
5 pour gold batter in big zig zags from side to side (high distance)
6 layer of gold mica powdered with fine strainer
7 with the help of a spatula pour tsp amounts of thick black batter creating texture with gaps between some of them and touching others (without spreading the batter)
8 layer of gold mica powdered with fine strainer
9 pour gold batter in big zig zags from side to side (medium distance, up and down)
10 with the help of the spatula pour small amounts of gaped thick batter
11 shake the molde from side to side to spread the soap equally in the molde and bang it several times on the table
Top decoration
1 pour drops of gold and oil mix on top of the whole batch
2 with the back of a tsp draw swirls with textures

Changes to my own inspiration
Black and golden marble with golden rivers instead of round marble effect

Steps
1 pour some gold batter (high distance) on top of the black jar
2 pour butter (high distance) making S moves from top corner to bottom (without spreading the batter to let the thickness make textures, no banging the batch on the table. (corners will be filled with its own weight)
3 layer of gold mica powdered with fine strainer
4 pour amounts of thick black batter, (big spoon size) moving the jar softly from side to side leaving a bigger gap in the middle (or top) and river meander forms in the sides so the powder makes more curving lines (pic 2)
5 pour gold batter in big zig zags from side to side (high distance)
6 layer of gold mica powdered with fine strainer
7 with the help of a spatula pour longish forms of thick black batter creating texture and leaving river meander forms, less space between them in the middle (or top) (pic 2)
8 layer of gold mica powdered with fine strainer
9 pour gold batter in big zig zags from side to side (medium distance, up and down) (possibility to darken (if perfectly golden, not yellowish)
10 with the help of a spatula pour the rest of the black batter covering the top of the molde, spread it uniformly through the batch if necessary
11 shake the molde from side to side to spread the soap equally in the molde and bang it several times on the table
Top decoration
1 drawn straight lines from side to side, (pic 3) reacher on the top side of the batch and lighter on the rest
