I found the Llanite today. It was beautiful. I had no idea that it was going to be so heavy. I about broke my back but I picked up a small boulder! I am sure that was a good laugh for the people driving by. My husband thought I was crzy. Any suggestions on how to break it up?

you need a pair of safety glasses and a pair of gloves and a crack hammer and hardened chisel and find a flaw or a crack and have at it --hahaha

Be careful is the first rule, use safety glasses to protect your eyes. I have a steel plate that I break mine on to keep the cement in my driveway from cracking. I use the flat side of a splitting mall to break them but also keep them covered with old towels or an old rug to keep the shards from flying about. I'm with Pho, I'd love to see a picture too.
