Definitely better than leaving them at room temperature. Marble is dense,
and it conducts heat. If it feels cool at room temperature, that's because
it's cooler than a 90-something-degree hand. One comment on chilled marble:
in humid weather it can get condensation.

May I suggest (being as picky about words as I am :-/ ) "practical" rather
than "possible"?
