I think "bright" is relative. There are plenty of limestone structures in the world, including some modern-built pyramids (of much less grand scale). Limestone is soft and porous and will never glisten the way marble does.

It would have been very impressive, to be sure. But I don't think it's going to match the experience you have in mind.

Since any such modern facing would completely hide all of the authentic material, you might as well just build a completely modern structure elsewhere. With modern building techniques it wouldn't take all that long.
