We only need to look at stonehenge to know that sarsen can be worked with relative ease using stone tools. I would guess that it is the skill and experience of the mason which is the most important factor when looking at any worked stone.
Regarding Moh, as you know the scale is applied to minerals not rocks, I guess that there are too many variables, depending on the conditions of the deposition of the rock, to allow an absolute value.
