Subject: colour on marble

dear colleagues

I am doing a sculpture piece in white marble and it will
have a pierced hole through it. I want to have this
"hole" as being on fire, as flaming out of the stone.

my question is:
how do I put colour on the stone? is this just a
question of painting onto the marble? how does paint
adhere to marble? any particular adhesive treatment
needed, to make the paint adhere?

I've never painted my stones before, and somehow it
feels like it might be a problem area ... not adhering,
or not being a good colour tint on the stone, etc.

I only work in hand tools but maybe there is a heat
treatment that I could use ...?

anyway, any and all comments would be most appreciated.

AND a big thank you to everyone for a great list.
