Thanks to both Csontos and Geoffkait. I think it's the density of the wood that might work in my favor compared to the weight. I won't really know until I try.
All the best,

How Good Is A Marble Slab at Deadening Vibration
If you want to use stone, get a shelf made of steatite (Brazilian soapstone). It is amorphous, impermeable, extremely dense, and does not ring in any way. When oiled it reveals the natural striations and grain that are beautiful, in my opinion. When the top shelf of my Polycrystal rack started bending after years of use I replaced it with a 3" slab of steatite - probably 70 pounds. About $300 delivered to the West Coast.
