Unidentified dark pebble
Unknown
Weathered metallic meteorite candidate
Unclassified meteorite; appearance possibly iron meteorite or stony-iron material
Obsidian
Amorphous volcanic glass (primarily SiO2)
Weathered sandstone fragment
Quartz-rich clastic sandstone, possibly arkose or lithic sandstone
Fine-grained dark igneous rock, likely basalt
Basalt (approximate identification; commonly plagioclase, pyroxene, and minor olivine)
Weathered limestone fragment
Limestone, predominantly calcite (CaCO₃)
Limestone bedrock
Limestone, chiefly calcite (CaCO₃)
Likely serpentinite (rough green serpentinite rock)
Serpentinite, composed mainly of serpentine-group minerals (e.g., antigorite, lizardite, and chrysotile)
Likely assorted beach/river pebbles
Undetermined mixed lithologies; visible pieces may include quartz-rich and volcanic rocks
Green aventurine pendant (likely)
Quartz, SiO₂, with green fuchsite inclusions (aventurescent quartz)
Weathered limestone
Calcite-rich carbonate rock, predominantly CaCO₃ (often micritic or bioclastic limestone)
Rounded sandstone pebble
Sandstone, predominantly quartz with feldspar and iron-oxide cement
Weathered limestone
Limestone; predominantly calcite (CaCO₃)
Man-made Jewelry (Metal and Glass/Plastic)
Synthetic Alloy and Amorphous Solid (SiO2/Polymer)
Weathered limestone (likely fossiliferous limestone)
Calcite-rich carbonate rock, predominantly CaCO₃
Chalky limestone fragment
Micritic limestone, chiefly calcite (CaCO₃)
Iron-rich meteorite candidate (weathered iron meteorite)
Likely Fe–Ni metal, commonly kamacite and taenite; definitive identification requires laboratory testing
Weathered limestone fragment
Limestone, predominantly calcite (CaCO₃)
Small brown mineral or rock fragment
Undetermined; the image does not show enough detail for reliable identification
Polished green stone, likely aventurine or jade
Most likely green aventurine quartz (SiO₂) or nephrite jade (Ca₂(Mg,Fe)₅Si₈O₂₂(OH)₂); image alone cannot distinguish them
Likely tumbled basalt
Basalt, a fine-grained mafic volcanic rock; commonly composed of plagioclase, pyroxene, and minor olivine
Rounded dark basalt pebble
Basalt, a fine-grained mafic volcanic rock
Black basalt pebble
Basalt; fine-grained mafic volcanic rock, chiefly plagioclase and pyroxene with possible olivine
Rounded limestone pebble
Micritic limestone, primarily calcite (CaCO₃)
Weathered limestone or calcarenite fragment
Micritic limestone, likely calcite-dominated (CaCO₃)
Dark basalt pebble
Basalt, a fine-grained mafic volcanic rock composed mainly of plagioclase feldspar, pyroxene, and often olivine
Chalky limestone fragment
Calcite-rich limestone; predominantly calcium carbonate (CaCO₃)
Likely limestone fragment
Calcite-rich carbonate rock; primarily calcium carbonate (CaCO₃)
Weathered limestone fragment
Limestone, predominantly calcite (CaCO₃), possibly fossiliferous or dolomitic
Black Obsidian
Volcanic Glass (Amorphous Silicon Dioxide, SiO2)
Banded Chert
Microcrystalline Quartz (SiO2)
Basalt
Basalt; fine-grained mafic volcanic rock, mainly plagioclase and pyroxene with possible olivine
Biotite–quartz–feldspar schist
Mica schist; chiefly quartz (SiO₂), feldspar, and biotite mica
Likely basalt pebble
Basalt, a fine-grained mafic volcanic rock; commonly composed of plagioclase, pyroxene, and sometimes olivine
Weathered sandstone
Quartz-rich sandstone, likely arkose or lithic sandstone
Rounded basalt pebble
Basalt; primarily plagioclase feldspar, pyroxene, and commonly olivine
Pale weathered pebble, likely limestone
Limestone, predominantly calcite (CaCO₃); exact identification is uncertain from the image
Weathered granite or granitic gneiss fragment
Granite; chiefly quartz, alkali feldspar, plagioclase, and minor mica/iron oxides
