Imabula wuhlelo lwembulunga ebonakalayo oluvumela umsebenzisi ukuthi akhethe phakathi koMhlaba, iNyanga, iVenus, iMars namanye amaplanethi ukuze aboniswe njengemodeli engu-3-D. Isofthiwe yamahhala ngaphansi kwemigomo ye-GNU LGPL, eyakhiwe yi-KDE ukuze isetshenziswe kumakhompyutha womuntu siqu kanye namafoni ahlakaniphile. Ibhalwe ngo-C++ futhi isebenzisa i-Qt. Imabula ihloselwe ukuguquguquka kakhulu; ngale kwesakhiwo sayo se-cross-platform, izingxenye eziyinhloko zingahlanganiswa kalula kwezinye izinhlelo. Iklanyelwe ukusebenza ngaphandle kwesidingo sokusheshisa ihadiwe, kodwa inganwetshwa ukuze isebenzise i-OpenGL. Inhloso ebalulekile yokuhlangenwe nakho komsebenzisi ukuthi uhlelo lokusebenza luqala ngokushesha, luthunyelwa ngedathasethi encane kodwa ewusizo engaxhunyiwe ku-inthanethi (5–10MB). Abahlanganyeli bengeze usekelo lwemithombo yemephu eku-inthanethi efana ne-OpenStreetMap kanye nekhono lokuhumusha amafayela e-KML. Imabula futhi ihlinzeka ngamakhono okuhlela umzila. Imodi yokuzulazula ebizwa ngokuthi i-MarbleToGo yathuthukiswa njengengxenye ye-Google Summer of Code 2010. Kamuva yabhalwa kabusha ingxenye futhi yaqanjwa kabusha ngokuthi i-Marble Touch. I-Geothek iyimfoloko yeMarble yengeza imojula yezibalo, amamephu we-pixel, nokubuka kwe-3D. Ithuthukiswe futhi isetshenziswe umshicileli wase-Austrian Ed. Hölzel njengesofthiwe ye-atlas yamakilasi.
