Milky Quartz
Silicon Dioxide (SiO2)
Granite fragment
Granite
Likely raw mica-bearing mineral fragment
Possibly biotite mica or a biotite-rich metamorphic fragment; identification is limited by the dark, blurred image
Quartz Geode Fragment
Silicon Dioxide (SiO2)
Likely weathered iron-rich rock or mineral fragment
Indeterminate; possibly limonite/goethite-rich material with quartz or feldspar
Weathered granite fragment
Granite, predominantly quartz–feldspar–mica rock
Glacial Cobble with Granite Inclusion
Porphyritic Basalt or Andesite containing Granitic Xenolith
Gravel / Limestone Fragment
Calcium Carbonate (CaCO3) / Fine-grained Sedimentary Rock
Weathered metallic sulfide-bearing rock, possibly chalcopyrite ore
Likely chalcopyrite (CuFeS₂) in a weathered host rock; identification is uncertain from the photograph
Quartz Crystal
Silicon Dioxide (SiO2)
Likely translucent quartz/chalcedony fragment
Silicon dioxide (SiO₂), probably microcrystalline quartz or quartz
Agate Geode
Banded Chalcedony (Silicon Dioxide, SiO2) with Quartz crystals
Weathered granite fragment
Granite; chiefly quartz (SiO₂), feldspar, and mica
Conglomerate
Clastic Sedimentary Rock
Granite or Quartzite fragment
Granite / Quartzite
Sandstone and Conglomerate pebbles
Sedimentary clastic rock
Sandstone Concretion (Omar or Nut Rock)
Sedimentary Concretion (specifically an 'Omarolluk' or Omar)

Quartz Geode Fragment
Silicon Dioxide (SiO2)
Hydrothermal Quartz Breccia
Hydrothermal Breccia with Quartz and Chloritic/Epidote Clasts
Vesicular Basalt (or Scoria)
Extrusive Igneous Rock (Mafic)
Weathered rock fragment, possibly granite or metamorphic stone
Indeterminate; likely quartz–feldspar–mica aggregate (granite-like), but image resolution prevents reliable identification
Likely iron-stained quartz or feldspar fragment
Quartz (SiO₂) or potassium feldspar (KAlSi₃O₈), uncertain from image
Possible weathered sandstone or iron-rich sedimentary rock
Indeterminate; likely quartz-rich sandstone with iron-oxide cement
Obsidian
Obsidian (volcanic glass)

Quartz, silicon dioxide (SiO₂)
Dalmatian Stone
Dalmatian Jasper (Aplite rock composition)
Gneiss (specifically Banded Gneiss)
Gneiss
Rounded river pebble
Indeterminate; likely quartz-rich sandstone, chert, or weathered volcanic rock
Unidentified weathered rock fragment
Likely granitic or feldspathic rock; exact identification requires clearer imaging and testing
Weathered granite or granodiorite fragment
Granite–granodiorite, chiefly quartz, feldspar, and dark biotite/amphibole
