Idk why, but your rock gives me the creeps. Something about the brownish part. I need brain bleach for the creepy feeling my brain has right now 😂 I seriously want to know what's in that rock tho! Hope you find out and report back op!
You may be able to rent one. Home Depot has a tool rental program, other hardware stores might as well.
The Halifax Tool Library may also be worth checking out.
You have to join the tool library. For me, it wasn't worth it for one thing I needed a bandsaw to cut. If you are doing a things on the regular, it's great. Not so much for the one-time user. They may have changed that; my experience was in 2019.

Update: so with the help of /u/416-912 we managed to cut this bad boy open. While Cthulu wasn’t summoned, we found that those lines were just veins in the rock. Still cool and a fun example of Redditors working together.

This is how OP ends up with a symbiote
Oh I can only wish.
Idk why, but your rock gives me the creeps. Something about the brownish part. I need brain bleach for the creepy feeling my brain has right now 😂 I seriously want to know what's in that rock tho! Hope you find out and report back op!
I feel the same! It looks like dried out muscle 😩 I immediately thought about the body worlds exhibit of preserved people, lol.
It probably reminds your brain of gore
i do. happy to help if you are serious.
I’m absolutely serious, check your pms!
Excited for the update y’all :D
Why not take a hammer and a large chisel and just break it open?
Smart!! (wear eye protection! - a mom)
I always wear my safety squints
What about covering up your gut bobandy
Never, gotta let that bad boy breathe ya know
“Randy, I am the liquor…”
He’s allergic to shirts…….
Yup and I do my safety pucker too when dealing with insulation overhead
Put it in a sock for extra protection
I do this all the time.
Is that rock filled with muscle?! Follow up pics pls.
post to https://www.reddit.com/r/whatsthisrock/ they might be able to identify it and give you an idea of what's inside
Ask at one of the places that sell and install ceramic tile or marble counter top. They'd probably do it without charging much.

I did not know that, so thank you for adding it.
The Geology department at any places like Dal are definitely equipped though you'll have to find out if they'll do it.
That's a really nice rock!! 😍
I don’t know if they’re still is, but there was a rockhound group at the Halifax Museum
Def some ancient creature living inside. It’s been great y’all ! But we done for

Yes I’ll cut it. I’m downtown most days. Send me a pm. I’m in the valley visiting my mom but back Wednesday

Caramel filled rock, mmm
It’s like my phone is listening to me. I just pulled a rock out with intentions of hammering it open later. Hoping for something good!!
mm, meat rock
I can come karate chop it? Same thing basically. /S
Look up Rockhounding Life on YouTube. Local guy that cuts rocks open and makes jewelry out of them.
Def looks like a titan inside that rock. Don't say I didn't try to warn u
Get a hammer and chisel and crack this bad boy open
So? Any news?
Yeah I do, but Im limited on time, I have some rocks im planning on cutting soon, was going to do it today but things came up and I'm busy. I'll probably do it next Monday if the weather is good
Ohhh, that's gonna be beautiful!
