Fossil shark tooth in sediment
Likely fossilized shark tooth, possibly *Carcharhinus* or *Otodus*; exact identification requires the tooth’s full morphology and locality
Beaded gemstone bracelet, likely lapis lazuli and pale quartz/agate
Lapis lazuli: lazurite-rich rock, chiefly (Na,Ca)₈(AlSiO₄)₆(S,SO)₂; pale beads are uncertain
Unidentified polished dark gemstone cabochon
Possibly hematite, obsidian, jet, or dark agate; image insufficient for a definitive identification
Limestone
Calcareous sedimentary rock (CaCO3)
Jade bangle
Likely nephrite jade (actinolite–tremolite amphibole); possibly jadeite
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)
Diamond (in jewelry setting)
Adamantine Carbon (C)
Chert (Flint)
Microcrystalline Silica (SiO2)
River Pebbles (Chert and Quartzite)
Sedimentary Clastic Rock (Silica-rich)

Corundum (Al₂O₃) if sapphire; identity cannot be confirmed visually
Sandstone
Arenite
Coquina
Bioclastic Limestone
Concrete-like aggregate surface with embedded rock fragments
Anthropogenic concrete or exposed aggregate; not a natural rock specimen
Blue glassy mineral fragment, possibly sodalite or dyed/cobalt glass
Uncertain; likely sodalite (Na₈Al₆Si₆O₂₄Cl₂) if natural, but vivid blue color may indicate cobalt-colored glass
Yellow chalcedony (likely lemon agate or yellow jasper)
Microcrystalline quartz, SiO₂; possibly iron-bearing jasper or chrysoprase-like chalcedony
Chert (Flint Arrowhead)
Silicon Dioxide (SiO2)
Galena (lead sulfide)

Diamond in Kimberlite
Diamond (C in Kimberlite)
Yellow chalcedony (likely polished/tumbled pieces)
Microcrystalline quartz, SiO₂; commonly called yellow jasper or silicified limestone depending on exact texture
Likely gold-colored metal ring with a possible gemstone
Uncertain; possibly gold alloy (Au) with a small quartz or glass-like setting
