work under 3000 watts of light -I would put the stone on the floor ,
over a sand bed with pipes in it, over 4" of papercrete , then I would
build the walls of special made blocks to similate cut limestone - the
hollow nature would allow you to bond them internally and then strike
the joints - all sorts of possibilities still stone can hold 80 %
