I think you may be confusing the marble which is the little round (often glass) balls that children play with and collect with its homonym marble the stone.
A marble table in Spanish is una mesa de marmol. Caneca is a word that may not have an adjective form unless you are very creative with language.

@David: In Mexico we say "jugar canicas".
![]() And slang about something very old: "Eso es del año de la canica".
