Ancient Wisdom and Pagan Spirituality

Granite is very tough to work, even with steel tools. Most times you have to 'crush' the stone bit you are working on, before you can chip it off. Of course I'm talking about carving the stuff, like in making a statue or engraving. There are saws that use diamond to cut the big chunks and flat surfaces, which can then be polished or flamed (a blow torch is used to make a textured surface, which is good for traction if used for a walk, or a more natural 'look' on walls and stuff)

I haven't tried to work the stuff, because it is so tough. I'm still on the limestone, which is much easier to work.
