Elasmobranchii gen. et sp. indet. (Calcium Phosphate / Apatite fossil)
Bituminous Coal (with Anthracite or Vitrinite inclusion)
Organic-rich Sedimentary Rock (Carboniferous classification)
Dark rounded pebble, likely basalt or slag
Probable fine-grained mafic rock; possibly basalt (plagioclase–pyroxene) or industrial iron/steel slag
Sandstone (with iron staining)
Quartz Arenite / Ferruginous Sandstone
Sandstone
Clastic Sedimentary Rock
Sandstone
Sandstone (Quartz-rich Arenite / SiO2)
Quartzite
Metamorphosed Quartz Sandstone
Rough Diamond
Diamond (pure Carbon, C)
Likely obsidian (rough fragment)
Volcanic glass, predominantly silica-rich rhyolitic composition (SiO₂-rich, noncrystalline)
Pink Granite
Phaneritic Felsic Igneous Rock
Chert (and Jasper/Chalcedony mixture)
Microcrystalline Quartz (SiO2)
Mounted faceted gemstone ring

Aragonite (CaCO3) with Conchiolin
Pink Marble
Recrystallized Limestone (Calcium Carbonate, CaCO3)
Limestone
Calcareous sedimentary rock (CaCO3)
Sandstone (likely Quartzose Sandstone)
Arenite
Likely iron-rich meteorite fragment
Undetermined stony-iron or iron meteorite; mineralogy may include Fe–Ni metal, troilite, and silicates
Obsidian
Volcanic glass (silica-rich rhyolitic melt; primarily SiO₂)
Unidentified gray metallic object
Not determinable from the image; likely a metal screw or manufactured fastener rather than geological material
Quartzite
Silica (SiO2) quartzite
Sandstone
Arenite
Chalk
Micrite (primarily Calcium Carbonate, CaCO3)
Pumice
Vesicular volcanic glass, typically rhyolitic to dacitic; mainly silica-rich volcanic glass with feldspar and minor quartz or pyroxene
Blue faceted gemstone ring, likely synthetic sapphire or blue topaz
Uncertain from image; possible corundum (Al₂O₃) or topaz (Al₂SiO₄(F,OH)₂)
Polished stromatolite (likely fossilized microbial mat)
Fossil stromatolite; chiefly microcrystalline quartz (SiO₂), commonly replacing carbonate
Chert
Microcrystalline Quartz (SiO2)
Chert (Flint)
Silicon Dioxide (SiO2)
Polished black stone sphere (likely black basalt or black tourmaline)
Most likely fine-grained basalt (plagioclase–pyroxene); mineral identification is uncertain from the image alone
Polished greenstone pebble
Likely nephrite jade (tremolite–actinolite), though serpentine or greenstone is possible from appearance alone
Carved jasper bear figurine
Jasper, microcrystalline quartz (SiO₂), likely brecciated or orbicular jasper
Polished purple chalcedony (likely lavender agate)
Microcrystalline quartz, SiO₂; chalcedony variety, possibly naturally iron- or manganese-colored
Polished orbicular jasper
Jasper, microcrystalline quartz (SiO₂), with iron oxides and other inclusions
Black-and-white agate geode pendant
Agate (microcrystalline quartz, SiO₂), likely a hollow geode slice with chalcedony and drusy quartz
