Wedge and groove is used with dry wood, and water. The same method can be used on quarry faces. The carvings at prehistoric sites that resemble remains of wedge and groove have significant differences - not as deep - not as long - neat not roughcut - not always on the flaw lines. I know granite doesn't have much of a grain, so the last comment doesn't apply there. I only get to see sandstone - with a bit of limestone.
