I've never heard of cabbing pyrite. Should look cool. Have you done it before?

I tried to slab copper by hand on my trim saw once. The saw wouldn't cut it. It just sort of smeared. I think it was way too soft and malleable. Pyrite is considered a metal, right? Will a diamond blade cut it?

I'm playing with a slab of silver ore I'll bet I'd feel better screwing up a cab of pyrite compared to silver :-)
