Congratulations.
Notice how there are different colored joints e.g. recent photo to around 2-o-clock?
Keep working those joints, e.g. hit at the joint to one side, then the other- basically "knapping".
The skill level for ancient civilizations is really amazing...

That's breaking nicely - lots of flat faces, which is good for a dry laid stone wall, or you could use that for a fire pit...

Done. Into chunks I can load into wheelbarrow and roll off to wherever/whenever. Like to my neighbors yard. At night.
This thing was a lot bigger than I thought at first, about two-thirds or more was down a good foot down into that pit.

If it's free someone will pick it up.
Now I'm starting to miss my old boulder friend.
NOT!

I too find hard rock/metal cranked really loud to be helpful when doing hot, hard and dirty work.
