Default Marco rocks

I was wondering if Marco rocks can be cut and if so what's the best way to cut them?

If you are thinking of cutting your rocks right in half the only thing will do it is a stone wet saw with a blade size of your choice and if you don't got one as they are pricey i am sure you can rent one.It all depend on what are you trying to do.

Hammer and chisel I done it that way to some customers for having smaller pieces of rocks.

you looking to make a "flat side" or just cut down the size?

water saw used in tiling would work but you need a big sucker with a large enough blade for big pieces. Probably not worth renting.
