Now that was interesting!

His brown (sand?) stone looks exactly the same as mine.

The scoring was trivial! He took his rock chisel and simply scratched a
line. Just one line. That was it. It wasn't even a complete line. I'm
amazed that 'thin' scratched line did anything!


The "scoring" was just to mark a straight line.
Could have used a pencil.
It was hammering the chisel that did the work.
And notice the rough edges after the break-off.
So don't expect clean edges with this method.

I wonder if that will work for circles (to make the sprinkler head fit)?
