You will require a diamond-cut cutter and a round saw in order to cut it. Your local Home Depot will have these blades made to cut through granite, along with circular saws and other granite-cutting material for purchase or rent. You can use a regular circular saw or a wet-cut circular saw to slice granite.

Granite is mostly quartz and plagioclase. The quartz is the hardest mineral with a hardness of 7. I would recommend a saw with diamond coated blades for the best mileage. A corundum coated blade would also work but would be less durable. Diamond and Corrundum have a hardness of 10 and 9 respectively but the mohs hardness scale in relative so diamond is orders of magnitude harder than any other mineral.
