Magnetite (Lodestone)
Iron(II,III) oxide (Fe3O4)
Quartz-rich rock, likely granite or quartz-bearing metamorphic rock
Undetermined; possibly granitic rock composed mainly of quartz and feldspar, with mica or other dark minerals
Basalt with Quartz Veins
Basalt with Quartz or Calcite Veining

Extrusive igneous rock with amygdaloidal infilling
Weathered granite
Granite, a coarse-grained felsic intrusive igneous rock composed mainly of quartz, feldspars, and mica
Blue-gray mineral specimen (possibly sodalite)
Undetermined; appearance may be consistent with sodalite (Na₈Al₆Si₆O₂₄Cl₂), but the image is insufficient for reliable identification

Granite
Intrusive Igneous Rock
Pale greenish quartz-bearing rock, possibly serpentine or altered feldspar
Tentatively serpentinite-related rock (serpentine-group minerals) or altered granitic material; identification is uncertain from the photograph
Likely quartz-rich rock fragment

Dalmation Jasper (or Dalmation Stone)
Dalmation Stone (composed of Perthite, Quartz, and Arfvedsonite)
Granite
Felsic intrusive igneous rock
Likely weathered granite or granitic gneiss
Granite: quartz + feldspar + mica; possibly gneiss if the faint texture reflects foliation
Sodalite
