Default Adhesive Reccomendation Please?

I've had tremendous success with Pheno-Seal Adhesive calking (Home
Depot/Lowes). Works on and with just about anything

SWMBO and I were visiting family graves at a nearby cemetary today (It's a
Jewish tradition to pay such visits the week before the Jewish new year
begins.)

The oval ceramic tile with her grandmother's photo on it had fallen out of
its recess in her granite tombstone and fortunately I found it in the
grass alongside the stone.

Whatever had been holding it in place for about 60 years finally gave up
and let go. The remains of it in the recess are frangible and feel like
some sort of "plaster".

The back surface of the oval ceramic tile is unglazed and the surface it
will be attached to is smooth granite.

The "This to That" website isn't very helpfull, they don't mention "stone"
and their references to ceramic refer to broken dishes and the like.

I'm thinking some type of epoxy would probably work best, but I'm open to
suggestions.

Thanks guys,

Jeff
