Physical properties

Hardness: 6.5-7, Color: Light grey/white with tan/brown markings, Luster: Vitreous to waxy, Crystal Structure: Cryptocrystalline

Formed from silica-rich fluids in cavities or fractures in host rocks over millions of years

Commonly used in jewelry, lapidary arts, and as a decorative stone

Agate and Jasper are varieties of chalcedony. This particular piece has been cut and polished into a teardrop shape and drilled for use as a pendant.

Identify by its hardness (scratches glass), waxy luster, and lack of cleavage. Often found in volcanic rocks or as nodules in sedimentary rocks.

Sandstone (with potential mineral staining/concretions)

Arenite (SiO2 based)

Mineral Sand (Heavy Mineral Sand Concentrate)

Placer deposit concentrate containing minerals such as ilmenite, rutile, zircon, and magnetite

Calcite–fluorite mineral specimen with iron-oxide staining

Calcite (CaCO₃), likely fluorite (CaF₂), with possible quartz and iron/manganese oxides

Soil with Mineral Detritus and Quartz Fragments

Regolith / Silicate Mineral Aggregate

Septarian Pebble
