How to melt rock with chemicals

I am an Artist and a sculpture, I would like to find out more methods of easy granite etching, I heard that a mixture of sulfuric and nitric would melt rock, if it does I would like to know exact strengths and amounts to mix. or if there any other methods without using burners.
