Has anyone a rough idea of how much a 2' x 2' x 2" Concrete block would
weigh, please?

" A 1.5" thick standard concrete countertop has an approximate weight
of 18.75 pounds per square foot."
therefore a 1 foot thick countertop i.e. a 1 ft cube would be
8 times as much - 150 pounds
2 square feet = 8 1 foot cubes = 1200 lbs = 10.7 cwt
So Nick is correct.
[ Believe it or not concrete is heavier than granite according to
this site at least - Granite is approximately 18 pounds per square
foot. ]
