In my opinion marble is a bad material choice for anything horizontal (including a table top), it's highly susceptible to any acids and oils no matter how tiny the rise in ph is, including your own sweat. Vertical (and horizontal if you're stuck with it) marble surfaces should be sealed with a special marble or stone sealant (multiple coats).
To get rid of a stain make a paste made out of flour, water and a cleaning product intended for stone (consistency of toothpaste), smear it on and let it fully dry (at least 18-24 hours) then scrape it off. The paste "Should" draw out any oils from the very porous stone. You may need to repeat for the more stubborn stains.
If you want to go with the natural stone look use granite or use some man made material that looks like stone instead. The latest stuff looks fine and is much easier to maintain as well as costing less in general.

Getting Devs to follow it is like getting blood out of a stone though.

re: teh sahmbler - I agree with 'bler that the skin is all wrong, but the actual shape of the model is spot on. I think these are the first "HD remake" quake/doom models that actually respect the original shape / silhouette. But yeah, the skin doesn't do anything for me
Damn Good Model
I don't even mind the skin myself, since Shamblers have never felt very furry to me. The sphincter-like mouth bugs me more.
I Like All Those

Yes very good. I too have qualms about the sphincter-mouth (something I find rather endearing in other circumstances) but in general they are doing well.
Actually

You can tell from his WIPs that he's literally importing the quake monsters from .mdl into zbrush and starting to subdivide and sculpt right on it. This is why they seem so faithful.
