I want to install a 4x4 tumbled marble on my kitchen backsplash, what grout thickness would you recommend?

Q. I want to install a 4x4 tumbled marble on my kitchen backsplash, what grout thickness would you recommend? Thanks a lot.
A. It depends somewhat on your preference, but no less than 1/16 of an inch. Probably better if you go to 1/8".
Dont forget to seal your grout with a quality impregnating sealer.
