Green Aventurine
Aventurine (variety of Quartz - SiO2)
Slickenside
Tectonic Fault Scarp Surface
Unidentified dark mineral/rock fragment
Indeterminate; appearance may fit a sulfide-bearing rock or iron-rich mineral
Weathered tan mineral/rock fragment
Indeterminate from image; possibly iron-stained quartz, feldspar-rich rock, or limonite-bearing material
Unidentified weathered mineral/rock fragment
Indeterminate; likely a weathered iron-rich silicate or sulfide-bearing specimen
Uncertain pale mineral/rock fragment
Indeterminate; possibly calcite-rich material or a light-colored carbonate rock
Tumbled brown mineral/rock specimen
Indeterminate from image; likely brown jasper, chert, or iron-stained quartzite
Iron-stained brown mineral/rock fragment
Most likely limonite/goethite-rich material (hydrated iron oxides), possibly weathered ironstone; exact identification requires testing
Nephrite Jade
Nephrite
Nephrite Jade (or Serpentine)
Nephrite (a variety of amphibole mineral tremolite-actinolite) or Serpentine Group minerals

Indeterminate from image; possible pyrite-bearing sulfide rock or native-metal/meteorite fragment
Unidentified small rounded mineral/rock fragment
Indeterminate from image; possibly quartz or chalcedony with iron-oxide staining
Small rounded mineral/rock fragment
Indeterminate; possibly quartz-rich stone or feldspar
Blue-gray mineral/rock fragment
Indeterminate; possibly azurite-bearing material, blue chalcedony, or dyed/coated stone
