OT- Can I drill holes in marble as easy as granite

or one of the brittle, hard Spanish ones, or something in between. If you drill it the best type of bit would be a brazed diamond core bit, $30-$50?, or cheap is a tile bit where the shank is half the size of the hole brazed to a flat piece of almond shaped carbide. It is very pointy so it penetrates with less pressure but you need enough clearance behind the tile to drill it to the full diameter. The diamond bit would need to be dipped in water but the carbide could just be used dry. The diamond bit would work fine on any marble but the carbide would be best for a softer more stable stone.

Why not just glue the numbers on? Either hot melt or epoxy. Or even silicon caulk, which is what is used to set tiles to sheetrock.
