A good adhesive wouldn't do that. I hope they last!

Checkout Drilling hard porcelain wall tiles with 365 drills diamond holesaws granite cutting marble floors. Though for one hole perhaps I'd try a masonry bit not on a hammer setting on the drill and turn the chuck a few times with your hand to score a small hole and then start slow - keep the bit cold with water.
