Granite (likely)
Granite, a quartz–feldspar–mica intrusive igneous rock
Banded river pebble, likely gneiss
Foliated quartz–feldspar rock, possibly banded gneiss
Granite
Felsic intrusive igneous rock
Likely garnet crystal fragment
Garnet-group mineral, possibly almandine (Fe₃Al₂(SiO₄)₃)
Blue Apatite
Apatite (Ca5(PO4)3(F,Cl,OH))
Weathered granite boulder
Granite, a coarse-grained felsic intrusive igneous rock composed mainly of quartz, feldspar, and mica
Mica Schist
Metamorphic rock dominated by micas (muscovite, biotite)
Bauxite
Hydrated aluminum oxides (mixture of gibbsite, boehmite, and diaspore)
Bauxite
Aluminium ore (Hydrated aluminium oxides AlOx(OH)3-2x)
Bauxite
Bauxite (Mixture of Al(OH)3, AlO(OH), and Fe2O3)
Likely garnet (rough crystal)
Garnet group; possibly almandine, (Fe₃Al₂(SiO₄)₃)
Likely garnet crystal
Garnet-group silicate; species cannot be determined from the image
Blue-gray mineral specimen (possibly sodalite)
Undetermined; appearance may be consistent with sodalite (Na₈Al₆Si₆O₂₄Cl₂), but the image is insufficient for reliable identification
Iron-stained brown mineral/rock fragment
Most likely limonite/goethite-rich material (hydrated iron oxides), possibly weathered ironstone; exact identification requires testing
Serpentinite (likely)
Serpentinite, composed mainly of serpentine-group minerals such as antigorite, lizardite, or chrysotile
Sandstone with Mineral Veining or Crust
Sedimentary Sandstone (mostly SiO2 with Fe2O3 tinting)
Orthoclase Feldspar
KAlSi3O8 (Potassium Aluminum Silicate)
Orthoclase Feldspar
Potassium aluminum silicate (KAlSi3O8)
Orthoclase Feldspar
KAlSi3O8 (Potassium Aluminum Silicate)
Potassium Feldspar (Orthoclase)
KAlSi3O8 (Potassium Aluminum Silicate)
Banded Gneiss (River Rock/Pebble)
Gneiss (specifically a banded variety often found as a river rock)
Quartz-rich rock, likely milky quartz vein material
Quartz (SiO₂), possibly with iron-oxide staining and minor associated minerals
Orthoclase Feldspar
KAlSi3O8 (Potassium Aluminum Silicate)
Orthoclase Feldspar with Quartz
Orthoclase (KAlSi3O8)
Dalmatian Jasper
Microcrystalline Quartz with Arfvedsonite and Tourmaline
Tumbled garnet-bearing rock (possible almandine garnet)
Likely almandine garnet, Fe₃Al₂(SiO₄)₃, in a dark host rock; identification is uncertain from the image alone.
