Kryha,
The problem that you encounter appears to be due to the incorrect color
choice of thin set. When installing light color marbles like white
carrara or crema marfil, you must use white color thin set. Quite often
when using the common grey color thin set on these light color marbles
will cause the thin set to bleed through when dry which is apparently
what you are noticing. The problem will not go away. The only solution
to to bite the bullet and re-install with new marbles using the correct
color thin set.
Good luck,]
Wayne
