Bought this a year ago at the Strongsville winter swap meet along with an Arizona mica beehive. But now it has come to my attention that this could be asbestos maybe? We have it in a bag just in case, what do you think? Anyones guess is as good as mine -Bryan

Bryan, Sandia here - It appears to be Mica as well. I have seen this larger, signal style in mica, and don't know of any in asbestos. Anyone out there? Tap it with your fingernails like you would a crystal champagne glass. If it makes a glassy sound like your beehive, it's likely mica.
