Fossilized Shark Tooth (Fragment)
Elasmobranchii gen. et sp. indet. (Calcium Phosphate / Apatite fossil)
Bituminous Coal (with Anthracite or Vitrinite inclusion)
Organic-rich Sedimentary Rock (Carboniferous classification)
Dark rounded pebble, likely basalt or slag
Probable fine-grained mafic rock; possibly basalt (plagioclase–pyroxene) or industrial iron/steel slag
Sandstone (with iron staining)
Quartz Arenite / Ferruginous Sandstone
Sandstone
Clastic Sedimentary Rock
Rough Diamond
Diamond (pure Carbon, C)
Sandstone
Sandstone (Quartz-rich Arenite / SiO2)
Quartzite
Metamorphosed Quartz Sandstone
Chert (and Jasper/Chalcedony mixture)
Microcrystalline Quartz (SiO2)
Mounted faceted gemstone ring
Likely diamond (carbon, C), though the image is insufficient for definitive identification
Tree Agate
Chalcedony (SiO2)
Diamond (in jewelry setting)
Carbon (C)
Pearl
Aragonite (CaCO3) with Conchiolin
Limestone
Calcareous sedimentary rock (CaCO3)
Pink Marble
Recrystallized Limestone (Calcium Carbonate, CaCO3)
Sandstone (likely Quartzose Sandstone)
Arenite
Unidentified gray metallic object
Not determinable from the image; likely a metal screw or manufactured fastener rather than geological material
Quartzite
Silica (SiO2) quartzite
Sandstone
Arenite
Chalk
Micrite (primarily Calcium Carbonate, CaCO3)
Pumice
Vesicular volcanic glass, typically rhyolitic to dacitic; mainly silica-rich volcanic glass with feldspar and minor quartz or pyroxene
Blue faceted gemstone ring, likely synthetic sapphire or blue topaz
Uncertain from image; possible corundum (Al₂O₃) or topaz (Al₂SiO₄(F,OH)₂)
Polished stromatolite (likely fossilized microbial mat)
Fossil stromatolite; chiefly microcrystalline quartz (SiO₂), commonly replacing carbonate
Chert (Flint)
Silicon Dioxide (SiO2)
Chert
Microcrystalline Quartz (SiO2)
Polished black stone sphere (likely black basalt or black tourmaline)
Most likely fine-grained basalt (plagioclase–pyroxene); mineral identification is uncertain from the image alone
Polished greenstone pebble
Likely nephrite jade (tremolite–actinolite), though serpentine or greenstone is possible from appearance alone
Carved jasper bear figurine
Jasper, microcrystalline quartz (SiO₂), likely brecciated or orbicular jasper
Polished orbicular jasper
Jasper, microcrystalline quartz (SiO₂), with iron oxides and other inclusions
Black-and-white agate geode pendant
Agate (microcrystalline quartz, SiO₂), likely a hollow geode slice with chalcedony and drusy quartz
Small metallic-gold mineral fragment, possibly pyrite
Pyrite (FeS₂), if confirmed
Sandstone
Sedimentary Rock (Quartz Sandstone)
Multicolored beryl gemstone bracelet
Beryl, Be₃Al₂Si₆O₁₈; likely mixed aquamarine, morganite, heliodor, and green beryl beads
Granite (Pegmatitic)
Phaneritic Felsic Igneous Rock
Chert (specifically White Chert or Flint)
Microcrystalline or Cryptocrystalline Quartz (SiO2)
Green iridescent glass cabochon or synthetic gemstone
Likely synthetic glass; possibly coated synthetic quartz or lab-created green gemstone
Native silver fragment (probable)
Silver, Ag; possibly silver-bearing sulfide or plated metal
Iron-rich vesicular rock, possibly weathered scoria or ironstone
Likely oxidized basaltic scoria (Fe-oxide-bearing volcanic rock); exact identification requires testing
