HI -- The fact that it is a crack , you will have to find out why it has a crack. It should be looked at to see if there is a foundation issue.
I would not patch it anyway -- just put new marble or stone on. There is not that much material involved so it won't cost that much to re-place. I like what lefty47 said.

I'm sure tile would adhere to the marble though if the right preparations are made, primer, and cement based thin set with polymer fortifyer additive. I rent, so I just wanted to put a fake stone sticker or stick on laminate tile, would it work without ruining the marble?
