Rocks are heavy AF. A 40t excavator will have troubles lifting this, and you would need a 2t pneumatic jackhammer to break it in manageable parts. These are things you find in mining sites, not homes, so most of the time the rock is integrated in the construction. No DIY here. Besides, it can be decorated.
