Carved Stone Turtle
Carved Soapstone and Quartz
mineral
Fossilized shell, likely gastropod or bivalve
Recrystallized carbonate fossil; original shell likely aragonite or calcite (taxon indeterminate)
fossil
Carved green jade pendant or ornament
Likely jadeite (NaAlSi₂O₆) or nephrite (Ca₂(Mg,Fe)₅Si₈O₂₂(OH)₂); image alone cannot distinguish them
gemstone
Carved stone bowl or mortar
Uncertain; likely steatite (soapstone) or fine-grained volcanic stone
metamorphic
Carved and polished brown agate pendant
Agate, a microcrystalline variety of quartz (SiO₂), likely chalcedony
gemstone
Fossilized sea urchin
Echinoid fossil; commonly Cidaroida or related echinoid
fossil
Gemstone Art Panel (Jade, Quartz, and Soapstone)
Composite of silicate minerals (Nephrite, Quartz, Talc/Soapstone)
mineral
Man-made Carved Stone (Scream Mask/Skull motif)
Carved Soapstone or Serpentine-rich rock
Anthropogenic (Man-made artifact)
Jasper Arrowhead (Flint/Chert)
Microcrystalline Quartz (SiO2)
sedimentary
Sunstone
Plagioclase Feldspar (Na,Ca)(Si,Al)3O8
mineral
Yellow jasper carving
Jasper, an opaque microcrystalline variety of quartz (SiO₂), shaped as a butterfly
gemstone
Carnelian
Chalcedony (SiO₂)
mineral
Greenshist / Chlorite Schist
Chlorite schist (contains (Mg,Fe)3(Si,Al)4O10(OH)2·(Mg,Fe)3(OH)6)
metamorphic
Likely diorite (small hand specimen)
Diorite; chiefly plagioclase feldspar and hornblende, often with biotite
igneous
Carnelian
Carnelian (Cryptocrystalline Quartz, SiO2)
mineral
Veined limestone (likely marbleized limestone)
Calcite-rich carbonate rock, chiefly calcite (CaCO₃); exact identification requires testing
metamorphic
Greenstone (likely serpentine-rich metamorphic rock)
Serpentinite, composed chiefly of serpentine-group minerals, approximately Mg₃Si₂O₅(OH)₄; identification from the image is tentative.
metamorphic
Banded calcite (travertine/cave calcite)
Calcite, CaCO₃; likely banded carbonate travertine or flowstone
mineral
Hematite
Iron(III) oxide (Fe2O3)
mineral
Likely serpentine or greenstone pebble
Serpentine-group minerals, chiefly Mg₃Si₂O₅(OH)₄; possibly chlorite-rich greenstone
metamorphic

igneous
Diorite
Intermediate plutonic igneous rock
igneous
Granodiorite
Granodiorite
igneous
Carved dark-green jade pendant, possibly nephrite
Likely nephrite jade (tremolite–actinolite series); the image alone cannot confirm whether it is nephrite or jadeite
