Black slate
Slate, a fine-grained metamorphic rock composed mainly of mica-group minerals, chlorite, and quartz
Weathered gray gneiss
Quartz–feldspar–mica gneiss
Blue glass-like bead or gemstone keychain ornament

Quartz, silicon dioxide (SiO₂)
Tumbled chalcedony pendant (likely agate)
Chalcedony, microcrystalline quartz (SiO₂); the pale bands suggest agate
Small gray translucent stone, possibly quartz or glassy mineral
Uncertain; likely microcrystalline quartz (SiO₂), but the image is insufficient for definitive identification

Native gold (Au), likely cast or refined metal
Greenstone (likely serpentinite or greenstone pebble)
Serpentinite-rich ultramafic rock; commonly dominated by serpentine-group minerals, with possible chlorite, actinolite, or magnetite
Weathered iron-rich rock, possibly limonite/goethite or ironstone
Limonite (hydrated iron oxides; commonly goethite, FeO(OH), with hematite and/or magnetite)
Ferruginous Quartz
Quartz (Silicon Dioxide, SiO2) with iron oxide inclusions
Yellow faceted gemstone, likely citrine or yellow sapphire
Uncertain; probable quartz (SiO₂) or corundum (Al₂O₃)
