Ok, just so everyone knows that I do have a Vib-Lap and use it here's 3 pieces I pulled off polish 2 days ago.
Texas Petrified Wood. This has been River or Creek tumbled, either Terlingua Creek or Rio Grande. It has some nice color and there is a small vein of quartz running thru it. I cut a flat base then cut this end piece off. Plan on cutting one more thick slab and then polish it and the remaining end piece. The original piece was about 10 pounds.

Baker Ranch Nodule. Collected by me in 1975 when the Baker Ranch claim belonged to Eddie Lindberg before he gave the claim to the Geode Kid. It been at the bottom of my Rock Garden for 30 years and I noticed it when moving rocks for a fence re-build project. I cut this end off, and should get 2 more polished pieces. it has some nice small little agate areas in the rhyolite.

Unknown Thunderegg. Picked it up at the Deming Rock Show 2 years ago. An old rockhound was selling buckets of scraps for $10 to $20 each, I bought 4 of them and this already cut egg was in one of them. The picture does not do the piece justice.
