    The stone is kind of soft, it has a clay like feel to it.

    That's the way I'd describe my Escher-types.

    +1 on the CA. Better compression more even bond line. Gorilla glue can expand. 2 part epoxy can too if you whip enough air into it. Then you get bubbles which are weak spots. There are many choices, Loctite should have a iso-cyanate version that would work well enough too.
    All of these are brittle when cured so be careful Oh, looks like an Escher to me. I always try to keep my stones over some kind of padding when working with them. Oh well it happens. It's only a stone, maybe a better one will come along.
