Physical properties

Smooth, polished surface, dark black color, opaque. Hardness and specific gravity vary depending on the exact material.

Formed through igneous or sedimentary processes depending on the specific rock type. Tumbled to achieve a polished finish.

Commonly used for decoration, in crystal healing practices, or as inexpensive jewelry components.

Tumbling is a process that simulates natural water erosion to smooth and polish rough stones over several weeks.

Identified by its smooth, polished exterior and solid black coloration; exact identification requires closer inspection or destructive testing.

Quartz-rich weathered rock, possibly quartzite

Quartzite (mostly SiO₂); exact identification is uncertain from the image

Granite / Arkosic Sandstone (Coarse Igneous or Sedimentary Aggregate)

Granite / Quartz-Feldspar Aggregate

Basalt with Chert or Jasper Inclusion

Igneous basalt / sedimentary chert nodule

Quartz (Druzy)

Silicon Dioxide (SiO2)

Greenstone (Greywacke or Nephrite Jade variant)

Metamorphosed mafic igneous or sedimentary rock (e.g., Actinolite-Chlorite Schist)

Botryoidal Chalcedony

Chalcedony (SiO2)
