Granite Cobble/Pebble
Granite
Granite
Granite (a common rock type, not a single mineral with a formula. Composed primarily of quartz, feldspar, and mica/amphibole).
Crushed Limestone
Calcium Carbonate (CaCO3)
Granite
Granite (a plutonic rock)
Green cabochon gemstone, likely aventurine or dyed chalcedony
Indeterminate from image; possible quartz variety (SiO₂), including aventurine quartz or chalcedony
Chalcedony (or a variety of Chalcedony, likely Agate or Jasper)
Chalcedony (SiO₂)
BROWN GRANITE (likely 'Tan Brown' or similar)
Granite (specifically a variety rich in orthoclase feldspar, often with biotite and possibly hornblende)
Granite (weathered pebble)
Granite (plutonic igneous rock)
Possible tektite or volcanic glass specimen
Natural silica glass; composition commonly near SiO₂, but exact identification requires chemical testing
Granodiorite
Granodiorite
Coquina
Bioclastic Limestone
Nephrite Jade
Nephrite
Exposed aggregate concrete (stone-chip surface)
Portland-cement concrete containing natural aggregate; not a natural rock
Quartz
Silicon Dioxide (SiO₂)
Polished/tumbled brown-and-white mineral fragment
Indeterminate; possibly quartz-rich jasper, brecciated jasper, or an iron-stained quartz mineral
Blue-green chrysocolla rough specimen
Chrysocolla, hydrated copper aluminosilicate; commonly associated with malachite, quartz, and limonite
Calligraphy Stone
Mariam Jasper (Fossiliferous Limestone composed of Hematite and Shell remains)
Obsidian
Obsidian (volcanic glass)
Chert / Flint
Chert (varieties include Flint)
Tumbled blue-green stone, likely chrysocolla or dyed chalcedony
Probable chrysocolla (hydrated copper aluminosilicate; variable composition), though appearance could also represent dyed chalcedony
Tumbled green aventurine (probable)
Quartzite dominated by quartz (SiO₂), with green mica/fuchsite or chlorite inclusions
Fossiliferous Limestone
Limestone (composed primarily of calcite with included fossils CaCO3)
Note on Image Identification: Textile
N/A (Anthropogenic material)
Asphalt aggregate (crushed stone in bitumen)
Artificial composite; predominantly crushed granite, basalt, limestone, and/or recycled aggregate bound by bitumen
Granite
Granite (a common rock name, not a single mineral species, composed primarily of quartz, feldspar, and mica/amphibole)
Tumbled epidote-bearing rock (likely epidote–quartz–feldspar aggregate)
Epidote-rich metamorphic rock; minerals likely epidote (Ca₂(Al,Fe)₃Si₃O₁₂(OH), quartz, feldspar, and dark amphibole/biotite)
Concrete or asphalt-like aggregate surface with a dark fragment
Uncertain; likely artificial concrete containing mixed lithic aggregate, not a natural rock
