How would you separate mixtures wood chips and pieces of granite rock?

One method to separate wood chips and pieces of granite rock is by using a sieve. The sieve will allow the smaller wood chips to pass through while retaining the larger pieces of granite rock. Another method is to use a process called flotation, where the wood chips can be floated on water and separated from the heavier pieces of granite rock.

Which rock is harder to sculpt granite shale obsidian slate?

Granite is the rock with the highest tenacity, and therefore the most difficult to sculpt. There are problems with the others, for a variety of reasons. Shale is fissile, and will split into thin sheets. Obsidian is glassy, and will be prone to fracture. Slate is prone to splitting along foliation lines, but would be the easiest to sculpt mechanically.
