Carved turquoise arrowhead/pendant
Turquoise, hydrated copper aluminum phosphate — CuAl₆(PO₄)₄(OH)₈·4H₂O
Sandstone
Clastic Sedimentary 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
Green glass cabochon or tumbled stone
Indeterminate; likely man-made glass, possibly aventurine glass rather than a natural mineral
Polished blue-green glassy slag or coated mineral fragment
Most likely man-made colored glass/slag; exact composition cannot be determined visually
Blue goldstone beads
Man-made aventurine glass (silica glass with metallic copper inclusions), not natural lapis lazuli
Unakite
Epidotized Granite
Sandstone
Arenite
Chert
Chert (Microcrystalline Quartz)
Turquoise cabochon (likely stabilized or imitation)
Turquoise, hydrated copper aluminum phosphate: CuAl₆(PO₄)₄(OH)₈·4H₂O
Coquina
Bioclastic Limestone
Coquina
Bioclastic Limestone
Blue chalcedony cabochon (probable)
Chalcedony, a cryptocrystalline variety of quartz; silicon dioxide, SiO₂
Turquoise (likely stabilized or simulated Howlite)
CuAl6(PO4)4(OH)8·4H2O (Hydrous phosphate of copper and aluminium)
Colorless faceted gemstone, likely glass or cubic zirconia
Uncertain; possible cubic zirconia (ZrO₂) or quartz (SiO₂), but the image may show a man-made simulant
Colorless faceted quartz-like gemstone
Likely quartz (SiO₂), though the appearance may also indicate man-made glass or cubic zirconia
Conglomerate
Polymictic Conglomerate
Tumbled turquoise-bearing stone (likely turquoise or chrysocolla)
Turquoise: CuAl₆(PO₄)₄(OH)₈·4H₂O; possible chrysocolla: hydrated copper silicate
Ruby in Zoisite
Anyolite (composite of Corundum Al2O3 and Zoisite Ca2Al3(SiO4)(Si2O7)O(OH))
Fossil Sea Urchin (Echinoid)
Echinoidea fossil (often replaced by silica or calcite)
Polished malachite slab
Malachite, Cu₂CO₃(OH)₂; likely polished and possibly resin-stabilized
Chert (Flint/Jasper variety)
Microcrystalline Quartz (SiO2)
Granite
Granite (Phaneritic Quartz-Feldspar-Mica composite)
Polished blue copper mineral, likely chrysocolla or dyed howlite
Chrysocolla: hydrated copper phyllosilicate, approximately (Cu,Al)₂H₂Si₂O₅(OH)₄·nH₂O; visual identification is uncertain from the image
Blue-green faceted gemstone, likely turquoise or treated turquoise
Turquoise: hydrated copper–aluminum phosphate, CuAl₆(PO₄)₄(OH)₈·4H₂O; exact identification is uncertain from the image
Basalt
Extrusive Igneous Rock
Polished banded agate slab or agate-look decorative stone
Microcrystalline quartz (chalcedony), SiO₂; exact identification is uncertain from the image
Chert (specifically Flint Arrowhead)
Silicon dioxide (SiO2) - Microcrystalline Quartz
Polished agate or chalcedony cabochon
Microcrystalline quartz (SiO₂), likely pale chalcedony/agate
Coquina
Bioclastic Limestone
Exposed aggregate concrete (stone-chip surface)
Portland-cement concrete containing natural aggregate; not a natural rock
Polished malachite
Malachite (Cu₂CO₃(OH)₂), a hydrated copper carbonate hydroxide
Sandstone
Arenite (with iron oxide cement)
Red Jasper
Silicon Dioxide (SiO2) with Iron Oxide inclusions
Blue-green cabochon pendant, likely turquoise or composite turquoise
Turquoise: hydrated copper aluminum phosphate, CuAl₆(PO₄)₄(OH)₈·4H₂O; exact identification is uncertain from the blurred image
Feldspar-Quartz Rock (likely Pegmatite or Granite)
Feldspar-Quartz composite rock (KAlSi3O8 - SiO2)
Unakite
Unakite Epidosite (composite of Epidote, Orthoclase, and Quartz)
Unakite
Epidotized Granite
Sandstone
Arenite
Polished serpentine-rich stone (likely serpentine jasper or “rainforest jasper”)
Serpentine-group minerals, chiefly antigorite/lizardite, with iron oxides and silica-rich rock matrix
Purple Turquoise (Composite Mojave Turquoise)
CuAl6(PO4)4(OH)8·4H2O (Hydrated copper aluminum phosphate composite)
