Pumice
Pumice (Vesicular volcanic glass)
Basalt pebble
Basalt (Mafic Extrusive Igneous Rock)
Chert
Microcrystalline Quartz (SiO2)
Moldavite
Moldavite (Siliceous vitreous substance)
Milky quartz
Quartz (SiO₂)
Sandstone
Arenite
Beaded gemstone bracelet
Indeterminate; likely small polished mineral beads, possibly turquoise or dyed stone, with metal and glass components
Quartz (Grain)
Silicon Dioxide (SiO2)
Granodiorite
Phaneritic Plutonic Intermediate-Felsic Rock
Desert Rose (Gypsum Rose)
Calcium Sulfate Dihydrate (CaSO4·2H2O)
Sandstone (Quartzite-rich)
Clastic Sedimentary Rock (primarily SiO2)
Uncertain pale granitoid or weathered feldspathic rock
Likely granite or granodiorite; chiefly quartz, feldspar, and minor mica, but the photograph is insufficient for precise identification.
Granite
Phaneritic plutonic igneous rock (SiO2-rich)
Likely green-brown jasper or iron-stained chert
Microcrystalline quartz (SiO₂), possibly iron-oxide-stained chert/jasper
Exposed aggregate concrete (stone-chip surface)
Portland-cement concrete containing natural aggregate; not a natural rock
Granite
Phaneritic plutonic rock (dominated by Quartz and Feldspar)
Porphyritic volcanic rock (likely basaltic andesite)
Porphyritic basaltic andesite; exact identification requires testing
Weathered quartz-rich rock fragment
Likely quartz–feldspar-rich granitoid, possibly granite or granitic gneiss; exact identification is uncertain from the image
Quartz Grain
Silicon Dioxide (SiO2)
Weathered quartz-rich rock, likely chert or quartzite
Microcrystalline quartz (SiO₂), possibly with iron-oxide staining
Iron-stained chert (possibly jasper)
Microcrystalline quartz (SiO₂), colored by iron oxides
Quartz Pebble (Beach Chalcedony)
Silicon Dioxide (SiO2)
Fluorite (Rainbow Fluorite)
Calcium Fluoride (CaF2)
Weathered fossiliferous limestone, likely coral or shell fragment
Calcite (CaCO₃), biogenic limestone; exact fossil taxon indeterminate from the image
Sandstone (Quartzose)
Arenite (primarily SiO2)
Milky quartz (probable)
Quartz, silicon dioxide (SiO₂)
Turquoise ring
Turquoise, CuAl₆(PO₄)₄(OH)₈·4H₂O; the setting appears to be silver-colored metal
Likely quartz-rich rock (possibly milky quartz or quartzite)
Quartz-rich aggregate, predominantly silicon dioxide (SiO₂); exact identification is uncertain from the image
Small clear crystal, possibly quartz or glass-like gemstone
Uncertain; likely quartz (SiO₂), but the image is insufficient to exclude man-made glass or cubic zirconia
Sandstone
Arenite
Banded gneiss
Foliated quartz–feldspar gneiss, likely with mica
Blue glass-like bead or gemstone keychain ornament
Indeterminate; likely cobalt-blue glass or synthetic blue spinel, not identifiable as a natural mineral from the image
Sedimentary Breccia
Clastic Breccia (CaCO3/SiO2 matrix)
Glauconitic Sandstone
Glauconitic arenite (contains (K,Na)(Fe3+,Al,Mg)2(Si,Al)4O10(OH)2)
Shatter Cone
Impactite (Shatter Cone texture)
Mixed rock collection
Labeled specimens appear to include iron-rich rock, schist, basalt, serpentinite, and shale
Quartz-rich pebble, likely milky quartz
Quartz (SiO₂), possibly weathered quartzite or chalcedony
Iron-rich rock fragment (possibly ironstone or limonite/goethite)
Likely ironstone composed largely of goethite/limonite; image alone cannot confirm
Likely pegmatitic granite or quartz-rich metamorphic rock
Granite/pegmatite, primarily quartz, feldspar, and mica
Polymictic conglomerate (possibly impact breccia)
Lithified polymictic conglomerate/breccia; clasts appear mainly mafic volcanic rock, with quartz- or feldspar-rich fragments in a dark matrix
Belemnoit (Fossil)
Belemnoidea (Order), Rostrum / Guard
Polished stone sphere, possibly agate or jasper
Likely microcrystalline quartz (SiO₂); exact variety cannot be confirmed from the image
