Likely tumbled green mineral (possibly serpentine or aventurine)
Indeterminate; possibilities include serpentine-group minerals, nephrite, or green aventurine quartz
Likely calcite or limestone fragment
Calcite (CaCO₃), possibly limestone dominated by calcite
Jasper (likely brecciated or orbicular jasper)
Microcrystalline quartz/chalcedony (SiO₂) with iron-oxide and possibly chlorite or epidote inclusions
Sandstone (Quartzose Sandstone)
Arenite
Limestone with Quartz/Calcite Veins
Sedimentary Limestone (CaCO3 with SiO2 or CaCO3 intrusions)
Pegmatitic granite, possibly potassium-feldspar-rich
Coarse-grained granite; mainly quartz (SiO₂), potassium feldspar (KAlSi₃O₈), plagioclase, and biotite/hornblende
Banded metamorphic rock, likely gneiss or metasedimentary slate
Quartz–feldspar–mica gneiss (tentative), possibly containing iron-oxide veins
Small quartz-rich pebble
Quartz (SiO₂), possibly quartzite or weathered granite fragment
Likely galena-bearing ore
Galena (PbS), possibly mixed with quartz and sulfide minerals
Weathered polymictic conglomerate or breccia
Polymictic conglomerate/breccia, likely iron-stained and quartz-bearing
Iron-stained quartz fragment (probable quartzite or chert)
Quartz, SiO₂; possibly iron-oxide-stained microcrystalline silica
Possible granite or granitic rock fragment
Unidentified granitoid; precise identification is not possible from this small image
Iron-stained quartz, possibly smoky quartz
Quartz (SiO₂), with reddish-brown iron-oxide staining; exact variety is uncertain from the photo
Likely weathered feldspar-rich rock fragment
Uncertain; possibly orthoclase or microcline feldspar in a pegmatitic rock
Fossilized mammalian tooth fragment
Likely a fossil molar or premolar; exact taxon cannot be determined from the image
Sandstone
Arenite
Sandstone
Arenite
Quartz-rich pegmatite, possibly with mica and iron staining
Quartz (SiO₂) with probable muscovite/biotite mica and minor iron oxides
Amethyst (Geode Fragment)
Silicon Dioxide with iron impurities (SiO2)
Likely quartz-bearing granite or pegmatite fragment
Granite/pegmatite, chiefly quartz (SiO₂) with feldspar and possibly mica
Weathered iron-rich rock, possibly basalt or ironstone
Uncertain; likely weathered basalt (plagioclase–pyroxene) or hematite/goethite-bearing ironstone
Likely quartz-rich pebble
Quartz (silicon dioxide, SiO₂), possibly a quartzite fragment
Sandstone

Sandstone (Fossiliferous)
Clastic Sedimentary Rock (primarily SiO2)
Fossiliferous Limestone (Coquina)
Calcite (CaCO3) with Bioclastic inclusions
Amber (possibly a small polished amber cabochon)

Weathered rock fragment (likely granite or quartz-rich sandstone)
Uncertain; possible granitic fragment containing quartz and feldspar
Unidentifiable Rock Fragment
Fossiliferous limestone (likely containing shell fossils)
Calcite-rich limestone, chiefly CaCO₃; visible fossils are uncertain from the image
