Fossilized bone fragment (probable large mammal limb bone)
Mineral-replaced or permineralized bone; exact taxon cannot be determined from the image
Small brown stone (indeterminate)
Unidentified; the image does not show enough detail for a reliable identification
Indeterminate metallic mineral fragments
Possibly pyrite, chalcopyrite, or metallic sulfide-bearing rock
Quartz-rich breccia or silicified rock
Microcrystalline quartz (SiO₂), with iron-oxide staining and possible feldspar/calcite fragments
Quartz-bearing dark mineral specimen
Quartz (SiO₂) on a dark host rock, possibly basalt or sulfide-rich ore
Tumbled beige stone, possibly quartz or calcite
Indeterminate from photograph; likely microcrystalline quartz (SiO₂) or calcite (CaCO₃)
Quartz / Calcite Pebble (Indeterminate due to severe blur)
SiO2 (Quartz) or CaCO3 (Calcite)
Tumbled brown stone, likely quartzite or jasper
Indeterminate; probable quartz-rich aggregate (SiO₂), possibly brown jasper
Iridescent polished/tumbled stone (likely coated quartz or glassy synthetic material)
Indeterminate; possibly quartz (SiO₂) with an artificial iridescent coating
Iron-rich sandstone or lateritic pebble
Ferruginous sandstone; chiefly quartz (SiO₂) cemented by iron oxides such as hematite/goethite
Faceted amber-colored gemstone, possibly citrine
Unidentified transparent gem; citrine is quartz (SiO₂), but the image alone cannot confirm the material
Slate
Slate, a fine-grained metamorphic rock composed mainly of mica-group minerals and quartz
Likely raw amethyst with a tumbled pale-green stone
Amethyst: purple quartz (SiO₂); green specimen is uncertain, possibly fluorite or green quartz
Rounded quartz-rich pebble, likely sandstone or granitic-derived pebble
Indeterminate clastic rock; likely quartz-rich sandstone/conglomerate clast
Likely calcite or limestone fragment
Calcite (CaCO₃), possibly limestone dominated by calcite
Likely weathered jasper or iron-rich chert
Microcrystalline quartz (SiO₂), with iron-oxide staining
Likely tumbled white quartz or quartzite pebble
Quartz (SiO₂), possibly quartzite
Rounded sandstone pebble
Quartz-rich sandstone, likely arkose or lithic sandstone
Iron-rich rock, possibly limonite/goethite
Hydrated iron oxides/hydroxides, commonly limonite (FeO(OH)·nH₂O) with goethite (α-FeO(OH))
Likely blue calcite or aragonite fragment
Calcite (CaCO₃), possibly aragonite (CaCO₃)
Clear Quartz Sphere
Silicon Dioxide (SiO2)
Weathered quartz-rich pebble (tentative)
Likely quartz/chalcedony, SiO₂, possibly iron-stained
