Shark Tooth Fossil
Chondrichthyes tooth
Tuff
Volcanic Tuff
Cubic Zirconia (or possibly Diamond)
Zirconium dioxide (or Carbon)
Tumbled greenstone (likely serpentine or nephrite jade)
Serpentine-group minerals, chiefly antigorite/lizardite; possibly nephrite, a tremolite–actinolite amphibole aggregate
Yellow chalcedony (likely citrine-like quartz)
Cryptocrystalline quartz, SiO₂; possibly iron-stained chalcedony or pale citrine
Tumbled chalcedony (likely pale agate or common opal)
Microcrystalline quartz, SiO₂; possibly hydrated silica, SiO₂·nH₂O, if opal
Polished serpentine-rich stone
Serpentinite, primarily serpentine-group minerals (antigorite, lizardite, or chrysotile)
Tumbled sodalite
Sodalite, Na₈(Al₆Si₆O₂₄)Cl₂
Limestone
Calcium Carbonate (CaCO3)
Diorite (Polished Tumble)
Diorite (Intermediate intrusive igneous rock)
Coquina
Biogenic Limestone (Calcite, CaCO3)
Quartz (Milky Quartz)
Silicon Dioxide (SiO2)
Quartz with Tourmaline
Silicon dioxide with complex boro-silicate (SiO2 + Na(Fe3+Al6)(BO3)3Si6O18(OH)4)
Slag Glass
Silicon dioxide with impurities
Chrysocolla-bearing rock (likely chrysocolla in quartz/limonite matrix)
Chrysocolla, hydrated copper aluminosilicate: (Cu,Al)₂H₂Si₂O₅(OH)₄·nH₂O
Carved jade pendant, likely nephrite
Nephrite jade (tremolite–actinolite amphibole); species not confirmable from the image
Polished banded calcite (often sold as “onyx marble” or Mexican onyx)
Banded calcite, CaCO₃ (sometimes aragonite); decorative “onyx marble” is not true quartz onyx
Tumbled white quartz pebble
Quartz (silicon dioxide, SiO₂)
Possible iron meteorite
Fe–Ni iron meteorite, possibly an ordinary chondrite or weathered iron-rich specimen
Petrified Wood
Silicified Wood (Silicon Dioxide - SiO2)
Green Jasper
Silicon Dioxide (SiO2)
Weathered quartz-rich rock fragment
Likely milky quartz–bearing quartzite or silica-rich chert; exact identification requires testing
Brecciated jasper (likely ocean jasper or red jasper)
Microcrystalline quartz, SiO₂, with iron-oxide pigments and breccia cement
Polished brecciated jasper
Microcrystalline quartz (SiO₂), with iron-oxide staining
Gold ring with a dark, possibly gemstone setting
Gold alloy; the dark setting is not identifiable from the image
Petrified Wood
Silicified wood (Quartz/Chalcedony replacement of organic matter)
Tumbled orange chalcedony or jasper pebble
Microcrystalline quartz, SiO₂; possibly iron-stained chalcedony/jasper
Milky Quartz
Silicon Dioxide (SiO2)
Serpentinite with carbonate and iron-oxide alteration
Serpentinite; chiefly antigorite/lizardite Mg₃Si₂O₅(OH)₄, with magnetite, calcite, and chromian minerals
Citrine-colored polished beads (material uncertain)
Possibly citrine quartz (SiO₂); the image alone cannot confirm the beads are natural stone rather than glass or another imitation.
Tumbled tan stone, possibly sandstone or weathered limestone
Indeterminate; likely quartz-rich sandstone or calcitic limestone
Polished leopard skin jasper
Orbicular jasper/chert; chiefly microcrystalline quartz (SiO₂) with iron-oxide and other mineral inclusions
Petrified Wood
Silicified Wood (SiO2)
Beaded blue-and-green gemstone jewelry
Likely dyed or treated chalcedony/agate and green aventurine or glass-like stone; exact identification requires testing
