Quartz (likely Milky Quartz or Chalcedony)
Quartz (SiO2 - Silicon Dioxide)
Labradorite (likely Black Labradorite or Larvikite)
Labradorite (Na,Ca)(Al,Si)4O8. If a rock, it is typically anorthosite, gabbro, or norite, or a variety of syenite called Larvikite if it is specifically from Larvik, Norway.
Slate
Slate (a fine-grained, foliated metamorphic rock). Mineral composition: Primarily composed of mica minerals (muscovite, chlorite, sericite) and quartz, with minor amounts of hematite, pyrite, and other accessory minerals.

Sandstone with Liesegang Rings (SiO2 with Iron Oxides)
Pebble (likely a type of sandstone or quartzite pebble)
Clastic Sediment (specifically, a rudite-sized clast). If the pebble is composed of a specific rock type, its scientific name would be that rock type (e.g., 'Quartzite pebble', 'Granite pebble', 'Chert pebble'). Given its appearance, it is likely a metamorphic quartzite pebble or a hard sandstone pebble.
