Yes. I drilled holes in the top of each rock (the top being where  
ever I determined it would be) and then strung fishing line through  
them.
I then ran a laundry line across my studio connected to some pipes on  
each side of the room.

I struck the slates with a rubber mallet, the stick end of the mallet  
as well as the flesh of my hand in different areas of the slate rocks  
which produces different colors. I have a pile of 15 of these things  
sitting in my basement of all different sizes (I ended up using 7 of  
them for this set). I'd like to do another sampling of them some day  
with a slightly different approach when I have time. I'm happy you  
like them!
