Tumbled Hematite with Titanium/Anodized coating (Iron(III) oxide, Fe2O3)
Sandstone (with man-made markings)
Arenite (composed primarily of Quartz, SiO2)
Pallasite Meteorite
Pallasite (Stony-Iron Meteorite)

Quartz, silicon dioxide (SiO₂); exact identification is uncertain from the strongly magenta-lit image
Goldstone and Aura Quartz
Cuprous Glass (Goldstone) and Titanium-coated SiO2 (Aura Quartz)
Colorless faceted quartz-like gemstone
Likely quartz (SiO₂), though the appearance may also indicate man-made glass or cubic zirconia
Tumbled milky quartz pebble

Likely metallic meteorite fragment
Undetermined iron meteorite, possibly an iron–nickel alloy (kamacite/taenite)
Granite
Intrusive Igneous Rock (Granitic)
Quartz (likely milky quartz or quartz glass-like fragment)
Quartz, silicon dioxide (SiO₂)
Likely iron meteorite fragment
Iron–nickel meteorite, primarily kamacite and taenite (Fe–Ni alloy)
Black tumbled stone, possibly obsidian

Celestite (Celestine)
Strontium Sulfate (SrSO4)
Celestite (Celestine)
Strontium Sulfate (SrSO4)
Celestite (Celestine)
Strontium sulfate (SrSO4)
Dyed Dragon Vein Agate
