Hello all,
I have asked the expert on chalk to develop a response for your question.
Chalk is thought to be okay for stones but it is not. I will forward you
all the response when I get it.

I hope someone will enlighten us to the damage chalk
causes. I am an advocate of using chalk to bring out
the inscription, esp. when all else fails. It seems
to me that if it is the only way to read the stone, at
least we have preserved the information contained
there when there may be no way to read it in a few
years. I have been carrying a spray bottle of plain
water with me to rinse the chalk off afterwards. I
am, however, willing to listen to the reasons not to
use chalk.
