What is the best way to split the stone, so one can use the stone properly for building construction?
The best way to split the stone is to hit with the tools along the cleavage. Cleavage is the physical properties of stones that are determined by the arrangement of atoms and minerals crystals within the materials. However, some stones will have well-defined cleavage planes and others will not have one or will be irregular. The stones with the cleavage planes can easily be split into thin sheets or layers. While others having irregular or no cleavage planes are more difficult to split.
It is very important to understand the cleavage of a stone in construction before splitting, as it can affect how the stone is cut, shaped, and used in building projects.
