Blue Calcite (commonly sold as Caribbean Calcite)
Calcium Carbonate (CaCO3)
Mixed rock and mineral collection
Assorted geological specimens; individual species cannot be reliably identified from the image
Mixed Mineral and Rock Collection
Mixed geological specimens (Quartz, Amethyst, Rose Quartz, Jasper, Epidote, Chert)
Decorative mosaic cross containing mixed rock and glass fragments
Polychrome aggregate; likely quartz, feldspar, marble, granite, and assorted colored glass
Mixed Rock and Mineral Collection
Mixed Assemblage (includes Quartz, Jasper, Feldspar, and Turquoise-colored stones)
Amethyst and mixed gemstone bracelet
Amethyst: purple quartz, silicon dioxide (SiO₂); likely accompanied by other quartz or decorative mineral beads
Red Jasper
Silicon Dioxide with Iron Oxide inclusions (SiO2)
Concrete or asphalt-like aggregate surface with a dark fragment
Uncertain; likely artificial concrete containing mixed lithic aggregate, not a natural rock
Stream cobbles and gravel
Unidentified mixed fluvial clasts; likely quartzite, sandstone, and igneous/metamorphic fragments
Iron-stained milky quartz
Quartz (SiO₂), with iron-oxide staining
Granite
Granite, a coarse-grained felsic intrusive igneous rock composed chiefly of quartz, feldspar, and mica or amphibole
Mixed Rock Collection
Polymineralic aggregate
Polished unakite pebble (likely)
Unakite: epidote, pink potassium feldspar, and quartz; composition varies
Mixed mineral and rock collection
Predominantly quartz varieties, including amethyst, plus likely calcite, feldspar, mica, and miscellaneous polished stones
Quartz (Moss-covered)
Silicon Dioxide (SiO2)
Mixed tumbled stones
Mixed aggregate of quartz, chalcedony, jasper, feldspar, and other common silicate minerals

Arkose (rich in feldspar)
Mixed rock and mineral collection
Multiple specimens; visible pieces may include quartz, calcite, agate/chalcedony, jasper, and dyed or coated materials
Weathered volcanic rock fragment
Likely andesite or basaltic-andesite; exact identification requires fresh surface and testing
