I cut some mica minerals today. Some lepedolite and a lot of fuschite with ruby. I got some other scraps too.
I plan to go to the workshop Sunday. IF someone wants to try and work up a piece for Tuesday night, I'll give you one. Just sign up for Sunday workshop. You can get the feel with a scrap, and then try one of the cutouts.
The fuschite is very soft and will need delicate touch. the lepedolite is not as soft, but still soft. Probably skip the 120 wheel on these.
