Sandstone
Arenite
Weathered granitic rock fragment
Granite, likely quartz–feldspar–biotite aggregate
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
Lapis Lazuli
Lapis lazuli (Complex silicate rock containing Lazurite (Na,Ca)8(AlSiO4)6(S,Cl,SO4,OH)2, Calcite, and Pyrite)
Sandstone (Quartzose)
Arenite (primarily SiO2)
Chert (White Chert/Flint)
Microcrystalline Quartz (SiO2)
Polished stone sphere, possibly agate or jasper
Likely microcrystalline quartz (SiO₂); exact variety cannot be confirmed from the image
Man-made Green Quartz (Lab-grown or Treated)
Silicon Dioxide (SiO2) with artificial coloration
Belemnoit (Fossil)
Belemnoidea (Order), Rostrum / Guard
Green glassy slag (often sold as “sea glass” or “green obsidian”)
Industrial vitreous slag; primarily amorphous silicate glass, composition variable
Pink granite
Granitic rock, chiefly quartz, alkali feldspar, plagioclase, and biotite/hornblende
Sandstone
Arenite (primarily SiO2)
Slate
Metamorphic Pelitic Rock
Slate
Metamorphic Pelitic Rock
Sandstone (Quartzose)
Arenite (composed primarily of SiO2)
Bornite (“peacock ore”), likely weathered copper sulfide
Bornite, Cu₅FeS₄; possibly chalcopyrite, CuFeS₂, with iridescent tarnish
Granite
Phaneritic plutonic felsic rock
Artificial Rock Face (Faux Rock)
Glass Fiber Reinforced Concrete (GFRC)
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 (composed primarily of SiO2)
Amber
Succinite
Fossilized Coral (Coquina/Limestone)
Cnidaria Anthozoa (Fossilized)
Sandstone (Ferruginous)

Granite
Phaneritic Plutonic Felsic Rock
Granite
Granite (Phaneritic igneous rock)
Lapis Lazuli (Tumbled)
Lazurite-dominated contact metamorphic rock
Yellow cabochon gemstone, likely citrine or yellow glass imitation
Quartz (SiO₂), if natural citrine; visual evidence is insufficient to exclude man-made glass or resin
Polished green-and-black banded cabochon (likely malachite imitation or dyed agate)
Uncertain; possible malachite (Cu₂CO₃(OH)₂), banded agate (SiO₂), or man-made glass
Polished blue-green glassy slag or coated mineral fragment
Most likely man-made colored glass/slag; exact composition cannot be determined visually
Granite
Intrusive Igneous Rock (Granitic)
Bauxite
Bauxite (principal ore of aluminum, primarily Al(OH)3)
