How would you frag this Acan?

[howardj]

I have NO clue how to go about this..
I only one the take 1 polyp or so off of this rock, but the problem is is that the rock is like a pyramid. The base is pointy..
I also don't have a Wet Tile Saw. Is there something I can put in between the polyps and hit w/a hammer?
It measures 1" x 1" x 1"
I'll get more pictures up if Dial Up meets an agreement w/ Photobucket

Do you have a Dremel?

No :-

if you have a hack saw with a really fine tooth blade, you may be able to get through the rock, jsut up behind the polyps. then use a knife to make a clean cut throught the flesh.
id definetly try and get a hold of a dremel and a diamond wheel though. would make things a lot easier and up your chances of having healthy/ clean cut frags.

but does he come up from below the frag and cut all the way threw the rock or does he cut from the top???

Score the rock from below until just before you reach the tissue. Then use something flat like a screwdriver or chisel to pry the two sections apart.

thats going to be a tough cut no matter what you got being only 1" x1"
