If you can just use bone cutters to snip pieces of the rock. Chisels and hammers work rather well too. This particular monti is almost bulletproof so if will handle a good amount of abuse. After you get it to the size you want, surround it with some epoxy putty and when it grows over it, pull it out and you will have a good supple of frags for selling or giving away. At least that's what I did with some of my encrusting montis.

Use the thinnest cutting wheel you have. The green "quick release" and a pack of ultra thin cutting wheels works great (they are like $9 for a pack of 5 at HD or Lowes). Short of that, bone cutters will work.
Best possible thing to use is a bandsaw - but most of us don't have $300 or the room for a water cooled bandsaw in our apartments...
If you don't have a dremel and the bone cutters won't fit around it you can use a chisel or a giglia saw (the flexible line - they use it for cutting PVC sometimes - looks like a garrote if you watch Borgias or Game of Thrones)
