Tony, you will have to get the url below into one line I believe to retrieve. The picture is of a block made by ramming a weathered granite soil about 70% with slaked lime about 30% by volume, to about half of its original unrammed size to compress it. I suppose a lime mortar of lime and sand was used to put it together. Try making test samples. http://www.tcp-ip.or.jp/~ohashi96/jinzoseki/meijiyosui/photo/%96%be%8e%a1%97p%90%85%93%aa%8e%f1%8dH%91D%92%ca%82%b5%e8%7d%96%e5.JPG Darel
