Sounds like you might have an issue, so here's the deal. Lay down paper towel over the mark and soak it with methyl hydrate. You might have to leave it for 10-20 minutes, but it should do the trick. You could also use bleach. Be patient and the Sharpie should come off.

I also PM'd you with a few shops and contacts to consider, Buzzard.
Marble is porous. The major issue with it is that you can burn it with "Acid". So if you are at restaurants with marble table tops, you will see the acid etching in the form of hundreds of rings. Looks like it hasn't been cleaned but doesn't bother me.

We did a surround in marble and a central bar in quartz. Which will be the workstation of the kitchen. We were at Stone Selection and talked to Jared about it and he was the one who told me about the sharpie problem. So I will let him know about your solution. Can I assume that you have actually done this remedy? Also, this was on the Caeserstone variety.
