Mica schist, composed chiefly of muscovite and/or biotite with quartz and feldspar
Granite (likely weathered, coarse-grained granite)
Granite, composed chiefly of quartz, feldspar, and mica
Sandstone (specifically Lithic or Quartz Arenite)
Arenite (composed primarily of SiO2)
Quartzite
Quartzite (composed mainly of SiO2)
