If you have the possibility to take another slice, not more than one half
inch in
thickness, and like to experiment, you could try to put it in a microwave
owen.
Time would depend on some factors, but 20 minutes and the owen set to
maximum power would do the job. That is if you can get the slice into the
owen.
The method has been used for producing faces for clocks by a friend of mine,
and works fine in most cases.
