Cutting marble tile without a wet saw?

I know this is Bathrooms, but there is no tiling forum!

I just bought a vintage Eastlake oak plantstand that has an inset panel in the top that was upholstered. If I remove that (it�s already loose), it would look perfect with some green marble tile I have left over from a project. The only trouble is that the tile is 12 x 12 inches, whereas the open space is 11 x 11 inches. So I would need to cut down 2 sides to make it fit. I don�t know anyone with a wet saw.

I have a tile scoring and breaking tool from a ceramic tile project. Would that work on marble tile?

The one I have is similar to the one is the link. The way it works is first you score the surface, then set it over a ridge and apply pressure using the lever arm.
