Likely weathered quartz-bearing rock
Indeterminate; possibly quartz-rich granite or granitic pegmatite
Dark mafic rock, likely basalt
Basalt; predominantly plagioclase feldspar and pyroxene, with possible olivine and iron-titanium oxides
Snowflake Obsidian (Flower Jasper variant)
Vitreous volcanic silicate with cristobalite inclusions
Tumbled greenstone (probable serpentinite)
Serpentinite, chiefly serpentine-group minerals (Mg₃Si₂O₅(OH)₄), possibly with chlorite, magnetite, or talc
Tiny rounded brown mineral grain
Indeterminate; possibly iron oxide, garnet, or a weathered sulfide grain
Blue-gray tumbled stone, likely labradorite or blue-gray feldspar
Plagioclase feldspar, possibly labradorite (NaAlSi₃O₈–CaAl₂Si₂O₈)
Graphite-rich metamorphic rock (likely graphite schist)
Graphite schist; predominantly graphitic carbon (C) with mica and quartz
Tumbled green aventurine (likely)
Quartzite dominated by quartz (SiO₂), with green fuchsite mica inclusions
Obsidian

Likely pink granite or granitic pegmatite fragment
Granite; mainly quartz (SiO₂), feldspar, and mica
Polished black stone, likely shungite
Shungite; carbon-rich mineraloid composed mainly of amorphous carbon, with silica and other minerals
Polished orbicular jasper (likely ocean jasper)
Silicified microcrystalline quartz/chalcedony with iron-oxide and other mineral inclusions; SiO₂
Rounded gray pebble, likely basalt or andesite
Fine-grained mafic to intermediate volcanic rock; commonly basalt (plagioclase ± pyroxene/olivine)
Tumbled carnelian/chalcedony (probable)
Microcrystalline quartz, SiO₂; orange-red variety commonly called carnelian
Rounded gray stone, likely quartz-rich granitic rock
Probable granite or granitic gneiss; mainly quartz, feldspar, and mica
Heliodor (Yellow Beryl) / Greenish-Yellow Beryl
Beryl (Be3Al2Si6O18)
Likely tumbled green mineral (possibly serpentine or aventurine)
Indeterminate; possibilities include serpentine-group minerals, nephrite, or green aventurine quartz
Likely yellow beryl or citrine gemstone in a ring
Provisional: beryl, Be₃Al₂(SiO₃)₆ (heliodor); alternative: quartz, SiO₂ (citrine)
Granite or granitic gneiss
