Something like 60-100 grit, hand sand, just roughen the surface a bit and get the sanding dust off, and the grab increases dramatically.
Also use some paint thinner or lighter fluid first to get off any wax left from the polishing. Be sure that the thinner/fluid completely evaporates after cleaning.

It amazes me what all and how fast it holds things together.The excess can be cleaned up. If your objects aren't exactly flush it even fills in the gap.
We even use it to put glass awards together. Ours and also several than have come apart from other places.

You can buy epoxy at home depot that lists marble along with a lot of other materials. At some point I have an indoor application to test it with. - You could probably find some at any store with a good selection of glues.
After having drilled into rock and using screws for a pet memorial, I wouldn't recommend it unless you plan on doing any quantity. A good drill bit is expensive and they are speed sensitive.
I used silicone adhesive behind the memorial, but with the screws we won't know how the adhesive alone would work.
I'd suspect the epoxy that stayed gooey wasn't mixed properly.
