Chert (Jasper Variant likely)
Silicon Dioxide (SiO2)
Painted Garden Rock (likely Granite or Limestone base)
Silicon Dioxide (SiO2) / Calcium Carbonate (CaCO3) based substrate with Acrylic/Enamel pigments
Grey River Pebble (Likely Quartz-rich or Limestone)
Clastic Sedimentary Rock (typically SiO2 or CaCO3 based)
Amphibolite
Amphibolite
Marble
Marble (primarily Calcite, CaCO3 or Dolomite, CaMg(CO3)2)
Granite
Granite (a common rock type, not a single mineral species)
Banded Chert or Chert with Quartz Veins
Chert (SiO2)
Chalcedony (Banded/Mottled Variety)
Chalcedony (a cryptocrystalline variety of Quartz, SiO2)
Ceramic or Polished Stone Heart (Anthropogenic Material)
Glazed Ceramic (Silicon Dioxide based coating on Alumina Silicate body) or Polished Limestone/Marble (Calcium Carbonate, CaCO3)
Chalcedony Geode
Chalcedony (SiO2) within a geode structure
Opal
Hydrous silicon dioxide (SiO2·nH2O)
Concretion or Geode (unbroken)
Varied (depending on mineral composition and cementing agent). For quartz-lined geodes, the scientific name of the dominant mineral would be Quartz (SiO2). For calcite-lined geodes, Calcite (CaCO3). Concretions are often composed of cryptocrystalline quartz (chert), calcite, or iron oxides.
Banded Chert
Chert (a microcrystalline variety of quartz, SiO2 with minor impurities)
Banded Chert / Banded Jasper (likely a variety of Chert/Chalcedony)
Chert (microcrystalline quartz)
Quartzite
Quartzite
Quartz
Quartz (SiO2 - Silicon Dioxide)
Basalt
Basalt (dominated by plagioclase feldspar and pyroxene)
Epidote (or Epidote-rich rock)
Epidote. Mineral formula: Ca2(Al,Fe)3(SiO4)3(OH).
Banded Jasper (Chert)
Silicon Dioxide (SiO2) - variety of Chalcedony
