I have a congruent block on attached image and am looking for a method that can shred or dissolve it.
It has a mass of about 2 tons, heating from the bottom of a leaking copper furnace.
Hope someone with experience in this work can give me some advice.
Thanks everyone.

Tôi có một khối đồng như trên hình ảnh đính kèm và đang tìm kiếm một phương pháp có thể cắt nhỏ hoặc hòa tan nó.
Nó có khối lượng khoảng 2 tấn, do nóng chảy từ đáy lò đồng bị thủng.
Mong ai đó có kinh nghiệm trong việc này có thể cho tôi một lời khuyên.
Cảm ơn mọi người.
If you want replies I suggest you try with English.
 
Nếu bạn muốn trả lời tôi khuyên bạn nên thử với tiếng Anh.
I'm so sorry. My English is not good so I asked GG to translate. But maybe there's a problem so when I post it it's in my country's language. I use automatic translation so I didn't detect it. I fixed it.
Thank you for the reminder.
 
Sorry, just realized it is a Copper leak. I would sell it as an art sculpture. Looks like a Mongollian warrior sitting there after a battle. It would be hard to reproduce something like that in a studio. It looks really cool ( big money). A big, hand held bandsaw would be my choice for disassembly, providing it is Copper, and not the slag.If layered with slag, a sledge hammer would break it fairly easily, I would think. A gas powered demolition saw would work as well. I think acids would be a very poor choice, as well as using an Oxygen/Acetylene torch inside, with combustibles nearby. If done safely, the torch may be a good method. Looks fairly thick though.
 
I agree with @goldshark, I would sell it as a work art with a fancy name like Kronos or whatewer insane name you could add to it...This type of "mistakes" or "Natural occurence" cannot be reproduced even if you would want to. A unique piece which has a big money impact if sold for work of art.
Consider it to sell as it is, don`t destroy it.
I really like it as it is, would look nice in a rocky garden.. :)
 
You could sell that piece as is, for more money then you will ever see elsewhere in your lifetime.Where is it located, and how much do you want for it?

Label it as 'Allegedly Ancient Alien Sculpture'. Suckers will pay millions! XD
