Best Answer

A hollow diamond drill bit, with lots of water, cutting slowly, will do the job. Ideally in a drill press of some kind instead of freehand. Diamond bits in rotary tools like Foredom or Dremel may do it, if it's suitable to use them with lots of water.

Don't smash it. Immerse it in a container of water and measure the displacement. Then weigh it. If it is relatively light, compared to other similar size rock, then it is quartz. Take it to a stone mason and have it sawed in half. Or just pre-drill a series of holes along the line of separation you want, then tap it with a hammer and chisel.
