Is the "marble" in Donnie's Lincoln bathroom makeover actually marble?

Look at the image of the bathroom. In particular, notice how the left wall joins to the wall at the head of the tub, and how the right wall joins to the wall at the foot of the tub.

To my eye, these both make mirror images of the marble pattern at the seam.

This make me suspect that the marble pattern is printed, not natural, so the actual tiles could just be porcelain.

Now, I have no objection to marble-printed porcelain tiles, in fact, I have some in my house as it's cheaper and durable than actual marble. But then, my bathroom is not the Lincoln bathroom, and I don't lie that it's marble when it isn't.

Anyone more expert than I am maybe can confirm or refute?

1. It might be some kind of cultured stone....or a composite material....

I can't imagine them being able to find the mirror image pieces in natural stone.

5. I don't have any experience with marble,

But granite slabs are cut in slices - so the inside two sides of the granite sandwich (so to speak) would be mirror images of each other.

6. I'm guessing it's really, really thin sheets cut from thicker slabs

Like veneer

7. It looks like the faux marble tile my landlord put around my shower several years ago.

Except the upgrade to my cheesy little apartment bathroom was done with better taste.

8. Slabs cut from the same block would form mirror images, like veneer

but that doesn’t mean he wouldn’t fill it full of fake marble. He absolutely would.

9. It's absolutely fake.

He gets off on passing it off as real. That's his thing.

10. He had the contractor bill for marble, install some cheap shit, and then give him a kickback of the difference.

...probably

11. The facing walls are not precise mirror images

The facing walls at the head and foot of the tub have very similar but not mirror images. The top half shows greater similarity than the bottom half. I know nothing about the process of cutting and polishing stone. However the process has to remove some material from the cut itself and possibly more in the polishing. That could leave the facing edges with close to mirror images. The outside walls to the left and right of the tub are not at all mirror images. However the corners are nicely "book-matched". My guess is they used marble veneer which is usually 1-3 mm thick.

12. Also Known As Russian Oligarch Interior Design

In the industry this style is called Russian Oligarch or Russian Mafia bathroom. A design element where the excessive use of the most expensive materials and fittings are chosen to show of wealth and power over sense and sensibility. Calacatta marble on all floors, walls, ledges and even ceilings resulting in a look that resembles something made in Minecraft computer game. Golden faucets and toilet bowls finish the excessiveness.
