Default Looking for certain words in a string
With your text string in A1 use

=IFERROR(TRIM(MID(SUBSTITUTE(A1," ",REPT(" ",99)),MAX(1,FIND("marble",SUBSTITUTE(A1," ",REPT(" ",99)))-50),99)),"")

to extract marble.

In another cell to extract glass

=IFERROR(TRIM(MID(SUBSTITUTE(A1;" ";REPT(" ";99));MAX(1;FIND("glass";SUBSTITUTE(A1;" ";REPT(" ";99)))-50);99)),"")

and so on.
