Since no one has provided any tips yet, I'll have to offer them myself. I just spoke with Marmor&Granit in Kristianstad, who recommended an adhesive called PL-400, which apparently can be found in any hardware store.
But, I'll keep looking for more tips before I make my decision...

Without having glued marble, but other stone materials, I would recommend a slow-curing epoxy adhesive, e.g., Araldite Professional, or this one: http://www.cascose.dk/_upl/pdf/produktblade/Strong Epoxy Professional 2801, 2803.pdf
A slightly elevated temperature during curing provides increased strength. Just keep in mind that the adhesive becomes more fluid in heat before it begins to cure, so it doesn't run out of the joint.

Hi!
I completely agree with "Lurvnos"!
Epoxy is the way to go! Definitely avoid PL400, which is colored and adds height, meaning the joint will be much too visible.
If you have trouble finding slow-curing epoxy, I can recommend Nordells, which sells knife materials. (http://nordellknives.com) They have an excellent American slow-curing epoxy glue. (I've used it myself and am more than satisfied!)
If you are going to heat, do it carefully. Too much heat makes the joint brittle!
Best regards,
Thorsten
