I have used Mapei before now without any adverse affects. They do do a silicone for stone but only in 2 colours I believe ?

Be careful using silicone on marbles. Some marble will be darkened permanently by the oils in silicone. Always test a sample before using silicone with any natural stone. I usually try to use an acrylic with marble just to be safe.
