Although given how fragile larimar seems to be, it'll be a bit before I even think about trying to cut this baby.
Larimar is generally a bit higher on the Mohs scale than other pectolite. But you are right, to train the whole process of cutting and polishing (to perfection) it's not the best mineral to start with. Agate is a very rewarding and easy to work with mineral for giving you a good learning curve.
I wish you a lot of fun with it.
