Is marble tile heat resistant?
I am building an island out of an old dresser and have some black marble tile I would like to put on top for like a trivet.

Marble and limestone are fairly heat resistant, but not as good as granite, so it is possible to get some color change or slight burn damage. Also, extreme heat can cause thermal shock to any surface and may crack it. Doesn't happen often, but possible. Another consideration with marble countertops in this regard is that it is much softer than granite and more prone to scratching if you are setting and sliding pots and pans around. So, even though you are unlikely to experience any problem, you should still use trivets, hot pads to avoid scratching

Acid is marble's enemy. Vinegar, orange juice, etc. Be careful on counter tops
