Hey Salty,
You need to be careful with certain caulks and silicones (they may stain the marble) You must find one that is approved for marble (try a marble fabricator or tile supply house in your area) I have seen many marble tops (especially white marbles) that have been ruined by caulk! (The stain looks like an oil mark around the joint) or you could try a two part epoxy? (Mapaei and Laticrete both make some good epoxy mixes)
