Does anybody know what these stones are made of? Their geology? It looks like some sort of sanding technique was used to flatten/round edges in efforts to make water tight fittings and even insulation requirements.
I'd agree their construction is amazing simply because they're most likely water proof and insulating but, their appeal would be more realistic and worldly if we found out that carving and shaving these stones proved to be rudimentary.
