Although the stone does not float in water it does become
more buoyant in water then it does in air. This will make it
easier to lift. If you have a large pool of mercury (one of
the most heaviest liquids) you could probably float a large
stone on it.
The same principle can be shown if you take a large balloon
and try to sink it in water. It floats in the air due to
buoyancy but is hard to sink because it is to light in the
water.
