I know very little of Thundereggs and have never found one, but.... looking at that one, I would think that the bubbly Quartz oozing, possibly several different mineral inclusions, and a nice symmetrical shape might be good indicators.
I also see a natural fracture but not sure if that means anything. Post a pic when you guys cut that one, can't wait to see what's inside!
