Quartz, silicon dioxide (SiO₂)
Slag Glass
SiO2 (Silicon Dioxide) with impurities
Black Obsidian
Amorphous volcanic glass (SiO2 + impurities)
Aura Quartz (Titanium/Gold coated)
Silicon Dioxide (SiO2) with metallic vapor deposition
Polished white chalcedony or quartz pendant
Microcrystalline quartz (chalcedony), SiO₂; exact identification is uncertain from the image
Iron Slag
Iron/Steel Slag (Ferrosilicate Glass)
Iron Slag (Industrial Byproduct)
Anthropogenic Vitrification Product/Ferrous Slag
Polished black stone, likely obsidian
Obsidian (volcanic glass; mostly silica-rich rhyolitic composition)
Green obsidian (likely molded or heat-treated glass-like specimen)
Volcanic glass; predominantly rhyolitic composition (silica-rich amorphous SiO₂)
Pet Rock (Man-made Quartzite or Granite Cobble)
Silicon dioxide (SiO2) mixture; commonly composed of Quartz, Feldspar, and Mica
Clear quartz fragment (rock crystal)
Quartz, silicon dioxide (SiO₂)

Fired clay, primarily aluminosilicate minerals; not a natural rock
Conglomerate
Conglomerate Rock (Paraconglomerate)
Sandstone Concretion
Clastic sedimentary rock (primarily Quartz SiO2)
Green Aventurine
Quartzite with Fuchsite inclusions (SiO2 + K(Al,Cr)2(AlSi3O10)(OH)2)
Slag
Ferrous Slag (Amorphous calcium-magnesium-aluminum silicates)
