Unidentifiable blurred specimen
Cannot be determined from the image
Small gold-colored jewelry piece with clear stones
Likely a metal setting holding small faceted gemstones; the stones cannot be identified from the image.
Unidentified rough rock fragment
Undetermined; the image does not show enough diagnostic detail for a reliable rock identification
Small pale mineral fragment, likely quartz or calcite
Tentatively quartz (SiO₂) or calcite (CaCO₃); image resolution prevents confident identification
Unknown brown-and-gold rock fragment
Undetermined; possibly iron-stained quartz, mica schist, or sulfide-bearing ore
Polished brown stone or bead
Unidentified; possibly polished jasper, agate, or iron-rich quartzite
Weathered, iron-stained bedrock with circular markings
Unidentified fine-grained silicate rock; composition cannot be determined from the photograph
Likely beach-worn pebbles
Lithified rock fragments; exact rock type cannot be determined from the photo
Rough amber-colored quartz or calcite fragment
Likely quartz (SiO₂) or calcite (CaCO₃); exact identification requires testing
Small gray, fine-grained pebble (possibly a weathered sandstone or siltstone)
Unidentified lithic pebble; composition cannot be determined from the image
Rounded quartz-rich pebble, possibly chert or weathered sandstone
Indeterminate siliciclastic rock; likely microcrystalline quartz (SiO₂) or quartz-feldspar sandstone
Gemstone-set silver jewelry piece
Likely mixed faceted gemstones in a silver-colored metal setting; stones may include sapphire, ruby/garnet, and yellow sapphire or citrine, but the image is insufficient for species-level identification.
Faceted gemstone in a jewelry setting
Indeterminate from image; likely quartz, cubic zirconia, or another transparent faceted stone
Uncertain polished mineral specimen
Indeterminate; possibly quartz or feldspar with iron-oxide staining
Unidentified pale yellow-green mineral/rock fragment
Possibly sulfur-bearing mineral, serpentine, or weathered limestone; exact identification requires testing
Rounded tan pebble
Unidentified fine-grained rock; the image does not show enough detail for a reliable species-level identification.
Unidentified rough mineral/rock fragment
Indeterminate from image; possibly quartz-rich material or weathered carbonate rock
Rounded gray pebble, likely quartz-rich stone
Indeterminate; possibly quartzite or a weathered granitic pebble
Orange-brown tumbled mineral specimen
Indeterminate; possibly iron-stained chalcedony, quartz, or jasper
Painted/tumbled stone specimens
Unidentified natural rock; likely a dark silicate stone and a weathered brown stone
Concretion-bearing sedimentary rock
Likely a carbonate-rich concretion in mudstone or siltstone; exact composition cannot be confirmed visually
Small dark mineral fragment, possibly mica or a metallic sulfide
Unidentified from image; possible biotite mica or iron sulfide (pyrite-group)
Uncertain gray-and-white rock fragment
Likely quartz-bearing granite or quartzite; exact identification requires testing
Small tumbled pebble (likely quartz or feldspar)
Indeterminate; probable quartz (SiO₂) or feldspar
Dark rock/mineral fragment
Undetermined; possibly magnetite-rich basalt or iron sulfide
Likely metallic mineral specimens
Probably native iron or iron oxide/hydroxide material; exact identification requires testing
Small rounded pebble
Unidentified lithic clast; likely fine-grained sandstone, mudstone, or basalt
Rounded pebble, likely quartz-rich sandstone or chert
Indeterminate lithic clast; possibly quartz arenite or microcrystalline quartz (SiO₂)
Rounded gray pebble, likely fine-grained volcanic rock
Indeterminate; possibly andesite or basalt
Small gray-green pebble (likely fine-grained volcanic rock)
Indeterminate; possibly andesite or basalt
Small dark rock fragment
Indeterminate; possibly basalt or scoria
Pale yellow tumbled stone, possibly calcite or quartz
Uncertain; likely calcite (CaCO₃) or pale chalcedony/quartz (SiO₂)
Likely fluorescent mineral specimen
Uncertain; possibly willemite (Zn₂SiO₄) or fluorite (CaF₂)
Rounded pebble, likely quartz-rich sandstone or weathered granite
Indeterminate lithic clast; possible granite or quartzose sandstone
Faceted gemstones, likely assorted quartz or glass-like gems
Not determinable from the photograph; possible quartz (SiO₂), topaz, or synthetic cubic zirconia
Rounded pale-green pebble, likely serpentinite or altered basalt
Probable serpentinite (serpentine-group minerals) or weathered mafic rock; exact identification requires testing
Unidentified rough mineral fragments
Likely quartz- or feldspar-bearing rock; exact identification requires testing
Green faceted gemstone, likely synthetic glass or chrome-dyed stone
Undetermined; possibilities include green tourmaline, synthetic emerald, glass, or dyed quartz
Unidentified dark, flat specimen
Indeterminate; image resolution is insufficient for mineral identification
Unable to Identify (Image Obscured)
Note regarding image quality
Rounded river pebble, likely quartz-rich stone
Unidentified lithic clast; exact mineralogy cannot be determined from the image
