hello does anyone know how i could break hakkai stone into smaller pieces its a pretty hard rock so i dont know what i can use to break it.
thanks
A big hammer (sledge) and a hard surface like pavement. Wear eye protection! It will fly off in every direction at speed.

BUT

Everytime I have broken a rock, the pieces are near worthless because they have no weathering, just jagged shards of rock. Good luck.

I'm not sure if you have done this yet, but I always put rocks in an old pillowcase before smashing them. This does one thing with two purposes. It keeps shards from flying everywhere reducing the risk of injury and making all of the little pieces available for accent pieces. Good luck!

Thanks,

I tried breaking a big hakkai stone rock with a normal hammer because thats all i had and I only got shards from the rock. I was trying to break the hakkai stone in half or into some decent small pieces but it seems too tough.
