Thank you Edwige, Jenny,Cecilia and Michele.
Michele, I am afraid I don't know the difference between an awl and a coal chisel. I bought the chisel on friday as it was the smallest in the shop for stone work, it is in the picture, the little hammer I had already, its little and light. I also used a file and at the end sand/glass paper. The stone is limestone, it had some fossils in it, so I was lucky it didn't break.
