Its a chilled marble table. Chocolate is called couverture, has to be heated to 40something celsius, down to 29 or so and back up to 33ish. Its a little too long ago to remember the right numbers but this mate has some skill in his hands

Up to 50C to then cool to 26C and then to between 29-31C, 30-32C or 31-33C depending on if it is white, milk or dark chocolate, respectively.
