I don't care how long it soaked, my reaction is still "eewww"

I'm thinking that last sentence is what they discovered the hard way, thus
the second posting

I call shenanigans. In 19 minutes after the first post, they break and
bag 20+ sq ft of 1" marble than rush in to make the second post.
Cute post, but bullstein.

Shoot - make an outdoor kitchen and use the bags to make stack
wall sides to the kitchen area .... fireplace. Hearth mosaic...

It would make for a nice glue up table. Glue doesn't stick...

Doug,
If my math's correct, it's just a little under 300 pounds of marble.
Probably some adhesion to the ground, too.

Reminds me of a coffee table top an associate of mine had.

The slab of marble came from a retrofit of the men's room of a 100+
year old multistory industrial building in downtown Cleveland.

Slab has served as a stall divider for many years.

A good soak in a murrain acid bath and the slab was gunk free and
ready for fabrication.

Don't remember how, but the holes for the hardware bolts were turned
into accent features.
