    I'm sorry to hear about your bowl. 

    Here's a product that you might want to try. De-solv-it works on
    adhesives, but I don't know about dried superglue. I really like the
    product myself because it's biodegradable and easy on the skin. 

    You might want to test first on a scrap piece of alabaster to make
    sure it doesn't discolor the stone since it's porous.
