    Generally, any rock that can be excavated using hand tools like crowbars and picks without blasting is considered ordinary rock, while rock that requires blasting, wedging or similar techniques is considered hard rock. Examples of ordinary rock include limestone and sandstone, while examples of hard rock include granite, quartzite, and basalt. Hard laterite is also classified as a hard rock due to its high compressive strength, density, and hardness.
