Red Sandstone
Arenite (with Iron Oxide)
Chert (Arrowhead/Artifact Fragment)
Microcrystalline or Cryptocrystalline Quartz (SiO2)
Granite
Phaneritic plutonic rock (primarily Quartz, Alkali Feldspar, and Plagioclase)
Granite
Granite (Mainly Quartz, Feldspar, and Mica)
Dyed Agate
Silicon Dioxide with artificial pigment (SiO2)
Diamond
Diamond (pure Carbon, C)
Quartzite
Quartzite (primarily SiO2)
Smoky Quartz on Matrix
Silicon Dioxide (SiO2) with trace impurities and aluminum inclusions
White Opal
Hydrated Amorphous Silica (SiO2·nH2O)
Pebble (likely a type of sandstone or quartzite pebble)
Clastic Sediment (specifically, a rudite-sized clast). If the pebble is composed of a specific rock type, its scientific name would be that rock type (e.g., 'Quartzite pebble', 'Granite pebble', 'Chert pebble'). Given its appearance, it is likely a metamorphic quartzite pebble or a hard sandstone pebble.
