I do it using a sandblaster, you can find (resist film) on-line. you cut a square hole of your choosing in the resist film apply glue to the stone, stick the resist on, burnish it down and then sandblast. (the longer you hold the blasting nozzle on the square the deeper the hole gets until you go all the way thru) NOTE: monument companies have large sand-blasters, some autobody shops have sandblasters also. Good-Luck
The translucent stone used in floor slabs in Egyptian Pyramids was alabaster. Alabaster was prized for its light-transmitting properties, creating a unique ambiance within the pyramid chambers when natural light filtered through.
Pebbles can have holes due to erosion, often from being tumbled in rivers or waves which causes wear and tear on the stone, creating small crevices or holes. Additionally, some pebbles may have formed with holes naturally as a result of the rock's formation process and mineral composition.
The large slabs of rock that make up pieces of the lithosphere are called tectonic plates. These plates float on the semi-fluid asthenosphere beneath them. The small slabs of rock found within the Earth's crust are known as rock fragments or mineral grains.
The Dimension Stone industry includes companies involved in quarrying and cutting natural stone to produce blocks or slabs that are used for construction and decorative purposes. This industry encompasses a variety of stones such as granite, marble, limestone, sandstone, and travertine. Dimension stone is commonly used in buildings, monuments, countertops, and landscaping.
A stone that can float on water is a pumice stone. Ejected from a volcano, and full of holes, it has been known to float.
On a hilltop, dig deep rectangular holes in the earth. Drag stone slabs to the holes, stand them up and drop them into the holes. Slide the "table top" slabs over the buried slabs, placing them carefully. Remove the dirt! (This would explain why the fallen slabs were never re-erected, even after centuries of advanced architectural techniques).
To determine how many slabs of stone you need, first convert the area from square feet to square inches. Since 1 square foot equals 144 square inches, 133 square feet is 133 x 144 = 19,152 square inches. Then, divide the total area by the area of one slab: 19,152 ÷ 40 = 478.8. Therefore, you would need 479 slabs of stone to cover 133 square feet, rounding up to the nearest whole slab.
What is a prehistoric English site of tall, huge stone slabs? I believe he was asking the name of tall, huge stone slabs located in the UK...the name is Stonehenge

Stone slabs are stronger under compression than tension. This is because most stone materials are able to withstand higher forces when being compressed rather than being pulled apart. Stress is distributed more evenly and effectively in compression, making stone slabs less likely to fail compared to tension.
It is called Stonehenge
