Hi All,
I decided to invest in some Dragon stone from a couple of local shops, one only sells bigger bits at £2.99 a chunk and the other sells by the kilo. Picked up a couple of bigger bits from the first place and a range of small and medium bits from the other.
A lot of my pieces have some fairly flat sides which are not so attractive and it's sort of limiting how I can use the stone. I'm wondering if anyone has tried breaking this type of rock up in to smaller bits? It looks like its not that tough, I'm tempted to take a masonry chisel and a hammer to it and see if I can create something more interesting but just wondered if anyone else had had success with this before I go butchering it and potentially making a mess!
Cheers,
Wisey.
