I know somebody that resembles that request. Seems like he lives in Florida somewhere ::).
When you come upon a track or trail you do not know, follow it to the point of knowing.

I don't want to cut it wth my new saw, it will eat a blade up. Piper has some bigger saws, I think.

He has a pretty good sized one, and cuts coral as well.

Jamie, you can heat slabs pretty easy. I do slabs and small spalls in the toaster oven at 450dgs all night.
