Hey guys and gals, my name is Chad from Massachusetts and I came across this site on Google looking up info on how to polish geode slabs. I'm a total newbie to the hobby and to the process so I'm hoping to get info and help along the way. Thanks and appreciate all info I receive.

We don't often get slab polishers, but there's quite a few here that do. Nice to see another fellow east coaster.

I've been wanting to learn to polish large slabs (actually geode or coral halves). I think a vibrating flat lap is the way to go. But I'm cheap, so always on the lookout for the great used machine.
