Dutch term or phrase: Inserto marmer
Context:

I am currently translating a handbook for a construction firm, and am having problems with three terms.

Unfortunately these terms are mentioned in a table and not in a complete sentence, so there's very little to go by...

I think Inserto may be a brand name, but I'm not 100% sure...

I have divided these three words into three seprate questions, so as to award KudoZ point for each correct/most useful answer.

Thanks for your help!

Insert marble
Explanation:
Indeed a bit confusing; Inserto marble is not a brand name but the name given to small pieces of marble which are inserted whenever carvers need to custom engrave certain 'pieces'.
Since most of the European marble comes from Italy, Spain etc
(even though lots of the marble sold as (seemingly) being Italian etc comes from India, but that's another story altogether)
the name/description Inserto was kept or is sometimes being used in other languages as well (e.g. in German Inserto marmor at www.antikmarmor.at)
