You could use contact paper or paint it.
Formica painting kit.
You can use craft paint, just pour on counter, take a stong feather to pull the color around, you can do this with several colors. Once you have your colors mixed to where you want them let it sit 24 hours. Seal with clear sealer,buy at any hardware store. One that I prefer comes as cement sealer in clear. Put on at least 2 coats. Let completely dry before putting anything on it.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y0w0eoiH-9c&t=169s I suggest you find a good picture of carerra marble as your inspiration to pick up the colors and how the veins of darker color looks - they have a good contact paper that I used as my inspiration for one I painted.
