Sandstone (Greywacke)
Arenite / Wacke (Mainly SiO2 with various lithic fragments)
Quartzite
Metamorphic Quartzite (SiO2)
Likely iron-rich rock or metallic mineral fragment
Uncertain; possibly limonite/goethite-rich material or weathered iron meteorite fragment
Polished amethyst bead fragments
Amethyst, purple quartz (SiO₂)
Green Agate
Silicon dioxide (SiO₂)
Breccia
Clastic Breccia (General mineral composition depends on fragments, often SiO2 or CaCO3)
Basalt
Basalt (Extrusive Igneous Rock)
Tumbled opalite (likely synthetic glass)
Opalite; typically man-made opalescent soda-lime glass, not a recognized mineral species
Stromatolite
Laminated biogenic sedimentary structure (formed by Cyanobacteria)
Granite Cobble
Granite (Porphyritic/Coarse-grained)
Tumbled red jasper
Jasper, an opaque microcrystalline variety of quartz (SiO₂), colored mainly by iron oxides
Weathered quartz-rich rock, possibly granite or quartzite
Indeterminate; likely quartz–feldspar aggregate (SiO₂ with feldspar minerals)
Ocean Jasper
Silicon Dioxide (SiO2) with various inclusions
Synthetic Wolf Plush (Non-mineral)
Canis lupus similis (Prop material: Polyester & Synthetic fibers)
Note: Item is not a geological specimen
Guitar Components (Steel, Nickel, Plastic, Wood)
Possible basaltic volcanic rock or iron-rich meteorite
Likely basalt (plagioclase–pyroxene rock); meteorite status cannot be confirmed visually
Iron-stained quartz-rich rock, possibly jasperized quartz or quartzite
Mostly SiO₂ quartz with iron oxides/hydroxides (hematite, goethite) and possible clay or feldspar impurities
Basalt River Pebble
Basalt
Green-and-white quartz-rich rock, likely chrysoprase or serpentine-bearing stone
Uncertain; possible chrysoprase (microcrystalline quartz, SiO₂) or serpentinite (magnesium silicate minerals)
Weathered iron-rich rock fragment
Likely limonite/goethite with hematite and iron-bearing silicates; exact identification requires testing
Granite pebble
Granite, a coarse-grained felsic intrusive igneous rock
Emerald In Matrix
Beryl (Be3Al2Si6O18) with trace Chromium/Vanadium
Blue Lace Agate
Chalcedony (SiO2) with trace inclusions
Green sea glass (likely)
Anthropogenic glass, not a mineral; composition commonly soda–lime silicate glass
Orange glassy slag (industrial by-product)
Iron-rich silicate glass; composition varies, commonly Fe–Ca–Al silicate
Likely dyed or painted stone
Unidentified natural rock; vivid purple, orange, and pink coloration appears to be a surface coating or pigment, so the underlying rock cannot be reliably identified from the image.
Likely basalt (possibly iron-rich slag or meteorite mimic)
Basalt; chiefly plagioclase feldspar, pyroxene, and often olivine
Weathered quartz-rich rock, possibly quartzite or quartz vein material
Quartz-dominant aggregate; chiefly SiO₂, with likely iron-oxide staining and minor feldspar or mica
Asphalt (Bituminous Pavement Bit)
Bitumen-bound aggregate (Petrochemical-bound composite)
Turquoise
Hydrated phosphate of copper and aluminum, CuAl6(PO4)4(OH)8·4H2O
Polished, carved gemstone (possibly dyed agate or glass-like material)
Unconfirmed from the image; no specific mineral can be identified reliably
Rough ruby-bearing corundum (identification uncertain)
Corundum (Al₂O₃), possibly ruby; the image alone cannot confirm ruby or distinguish it from other red-purple minerals.
Slate
Metamorphic Pelitic Rock
Likely iron-rich metamorphic rock (possibly hematite-rich ironstone)
Uncertain from the image; possible hematite-bearing ironstone, chiefly Fe₂O₃ with associated silicate minerals
Likely serpentinite (serpentine-rich rock)
Serpentinite, composed mainly of serpentine-group minerals (e.g., antigorite, lizardite, or chrysotile)
Coquina
Bioclastic Limestone (composed primarily of CaCO3)
Basalt (Weathered Pebble)
Basalt (Mafic Extrusive Igneous Rock)
Sandstone (Quartzose Sandstone)
Clastic Sedimentary Rock (primarily SiO2)
Quartz
Silicon Dioxide (SiO2)
Pearls
Pearl: biomineralized aragonite (CaCO₃) and conchiolin
Turquoise
Turquoise, hydrated copper–aluminum phosphate: CuAl₆(PO₄)₄(OH)₈·4H₂O
Crushed Limestone
Sedimentary Calcium Carbonate (CaCO3)
