Unidentifiable blurred specimen
Cannot be determined from the image
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
Rough amber-colored quartz or calcite fragment
Likely quartz (SiO₂) or calcite (CaCO₃); exact identification requires testing
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
Rounded tan pebble
Unidentified fine-grained rock; the image does not show enough detail for a reliable species-level identification.
Unidentified pale yellow-green mineral/rock fragment
Possibly sulfur-bearing mineral, serpentine, or weathered limestone; exact identification requires testing
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
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)
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 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
Small gray-green pebble (likely fine-grained volcanic rock)
Indeterminate; possibly andesite or basalt
Small dark rock fragment
Indeterminate; possibly basalt or scoria
Unidentified small mineral fragments
Likely quartz- or feldspar-rich material; species cannot be determined reliably from the image
Unable to Identify (Image Obscured)
Note regarding image quality
Quartz-bearing reddish metamorphic rock, possibly ferruginous quartzite or jasper vein
Quartz (SiO₂) with iron oxides; likely quartzite or iron-rich jasper
Small pink mineral fragment
Indeterminate; possibly rose quartz or feldspar
Likely milky quartz pebble
Quartz (silicon dioxide, SiO₂)
Polished ironstone or hematite-rich river pebble
Ironstone, likely hematite/goethite-bearing quartz or chert (Fe₂O₃/FeO(OH) with silica)
Metallic sulfide ore specimen
Likely pyrite-bearing massive sulfide, possibly pyrrhotite or galena; exact identification requires testing
Tiny rounded metallic-looking pebble, possibly pyrite or a metal-rich mineral
Uncertain from image; possible pyrite (FeS₂), chalcopyrite (CuFeS₂), or magnetite (Fe₃O₄)
Small red-brown mineral or rock fragment
Unidentified; possibly iron-oxide-rich jasper, garnet, or weathered sulfide
Rounded gray pebble, likely limestone or fine-grained basalt
Indeterminate from image; possible micritic limestone (calcite, CaCO₃) or basalt (plagioclase, pyroxene, minor oxides)
