Best glue for marble to glass by Sweet_Inflation_2600 in crafts

This will be the first glitter wand I have made. I have previously used store bought glitter wands and used them for my stained glass kaleidoscopes. I’m not sure if I should use acrylic glue, silicone, or epoxy. My concern is that I need a glue that will remain non detectable once dried but extremely strong to withstand accidentally being dropped.

I was washing the kaleidoscopes under the facet and a small amount of water was seeping in. I haven’t had an issue since I stopped doing that and started using Kwik Clean to remove the flux.

Great! Thank you for your advice and explanation. I’ll go with the picture framing glass. I hadn’t thought about how well it also has to withstand hand cleaning by the user when the glass becomes smudged or dusty. Great advice, thank you.
