Dragon Vein Agate (Dyed/Treated)
Agate (SiO2)
Sandstone (Pebble/Conglomerate fragment)
Sandstone (clastic sedimentary rock)
Pale green aventurine (likely quartz) sphere
Quartz, SiO₂; possibly pale green aventurine, with color from inclusions or treatment
Likely tumbled epidote-bearing rock or green jasper
Epidote-group silicate, possibly in a jasper or serpentinite matrix
Chalcedony (Agate / Jasper Specimen)
Silicon Dioxide (SiO2)
Heart-shaped faceted gemstone pendant
Likely yellow quartz (citrine) or synthetic yellow stone, set in metal with small clear accent stones
Green-and-white terrazzo (likely serpentine/marble aggregate)
Composite decorative stone; probable serpentinite (Mg₃Si₂O₅(OH)₄) with white calcite marble fragments in cementitious matrix
Pumice or vesicular volcanic tuff
Pumice: highly vesicular volcanic glass, chiefly rhyolitic to dacitic; possible tuff: lithified ash and pumice fragments
Concrete or asphalt-like aggregate surface with a dark fragment
Uncertain; likely artificial concrete containing mixed lithic aggregate, not a natural rock
Coquina / Fossiliferous Limestone
Calcareous bioclastic sedimentary rock (CaCO3)
Sandstone (with iron staining)
Quartz Arenite / Ferruginous Sandstone
Unknown dark mineral/rock fragment
Indeterminate; possibly a dark sulfide mineral or slag-like geological fragment
Banded agate cabochon
Microcrystalline quartz (chalcedony), SiO₂
Turquoise cabochon ring
Turquoise — hydrated copper aluminum phosphate, CuAl₆(PO₄)₄(OH)₈·4H₂O
Sandstone
Clastic sedimentary rock (Quartz arenite/Arkose)
Polished greenstone pebble
Likely nephrite jade (tremolite–actinolite), though serpentine or greenstone is possible from appearance alone
Fossilized Shark Tooth (Eroded)
Carcharodon sp. or Otodus sp. fragment (likely)
Luminous Stone (Glow-in-the-dark Synthetic/Man-made Stone)
Strontium Aluminate tinted glass or resin (Crystalline silicate/oxide mix)
Sandstone
Sedimentary Rock (Quartz arenite)
Sandstone
Sedimentary Rock (Quartz Sandstone)
Sandstone (likely Quartzose Sandstone)
Arenite
Conglomeratic concrete or asphalt aggregate surface with dark bituminous chunks
Polymictic gravel aggregate; dark pieces likely bitumen/asphalt, not a natural rock
Chert (with nodule)
Microcrystalline Quartz (SiO2)
Iron-stained quartz-rich rock, possibly jasper or chert
Microcrystalline quartz (SiO₂) with iron oxides/hydroxides
Aquamarine-like beryl pendant
Beryl, Be₃Al₂Si₆O₁₈; the beads may be dyed or treated chalcedony/amazonite, so image-only identification is uncertain
Chert (Nodule)
Microcrystalline Quartz (SiO2)
Diamond
Carbon (C)
Polished black stone pendant
Likely black obsidian or black tourmaline; exact identification is uncertain from the photograph
Jasper (Iron-rich Chalcedony)
Jasper (Microcrystalline Silicon Dioxide, SiO2 plus iron oxide impurities)
Weathered chert or chalcedony nodule
Microcrystalline quartz (SiO₂), possibly silicified limestone or agate-like chalcedony
Turquoise-style beaded bracelet
Turquoise, hydrated copper–aluminum phosphate: CuAl₆(PO₄)₄(OH)₈·4H₂O; possibly dyed or composite beads
