Puddingstone (Quartzite Pebble)
Metaconglomerate / Jasper-Quartzite Pebble
Clear Quartz (Rock Crystal)
Crystalline Silicon Dioxide (SiO2)
River Rock / Stream Pebble
Fluvial Clast / Rounded Sedimentary Particle
Likely quartz-bearing mineral aggregate

Banded Gneiss with Quartz Vein
Gneiss containing SiO2 (Quartz) intrusion
Wishing Stone (Veined Pebble)
Quartz-veined Metasedimentary Pebble
Quartz-bearing altered rock, possibly iron-stained quartz vein
Quartz (SiO₂) in a feldspathic/sericitized host, with iron-oxide staining
Quartz Vein in Host Rock
Silicon dioxide (SiO2) veining in silicate matrix
Conglomerate
Conglomerate (clastic sedimentary rock type)
Conglomerate
Pebble Conglomerate / Clastic Sedimentary Rock
Quartz Vein in Sedimentary Matrix
Silicon Dioxide (SiO2) with host rock
Iron-rich breccia
Hematite–goethite-rich ferruginous breccia, likely a lateritic ironstone
Metaconglomerate
Metaconglomerate (Quartzite conglomerate)
Conglomerate
Conglomerate (Sedimentary rock containing rounded clasts)
Conglomerate
Conglomerate
Wishing Stone (Basalt/Greywacke with Quartz Vein)
Basalt or Siltstone with SiO2 (Quartz) hydrothermal intrusion
Concrete
Anthropogenic Conglomerate
Conglomerate
Conglomerate
Siltstone with Quartz Vein
Siltstone (primarily SiO2, Al2O3, Fe2O3)
Pebble (likely a type of sandstone or quartzite pebble)
Clastic Sediment (specifically, a rudite-sized clast). If the pebble is composed of a specific rock type, its scientific name would be that rock type (e.g., 'Quartzite pebble', 'Granite pebble', 'Chert pebble'). Given its appearance, it is likely a metamorphic quartzite pebble or a hard sandstone pebble.
Conglomerate
Conglomerate (SiO2 matrix with various lithic clasts)
Light-colored quartz-rich stone, possibly milky quartz
Quartz (SiO₂), provisional identification
Iron sulfide-rich ore, possibly pyrite-bearing gossan
Likely pyrite (FeS₂) with iron oxides/hydroxides and host rock; exact identification requires testing
Puddingstone
Conglomerate (Gowganda Formation)
Conglomerate (Red Sandstone variety)
Clastic Sedimentary Rock (Conglomeratic Sandstone)
Granitic Pegmatite Intrusion in Host Rock
Pegmatite dike in amphibolite or schist
Quartz Pebble
Silicon Dioxide (SiO2)
Basalt with Quartz/Calcite Vein
Amygdaloidal Basalt (matrix) with Mineral Vein filling
Jasper Breccia
Silicon Dioxide (SiO2) with impurities
Jasper Agate (specifically Brecciated Jasper)
Silicon Dioxide (SiO2) with iron oxide and clay impurities
Puddingstone (Gowganda)
Gowganda Formation Conglomerate
River Pebble (Siltstone / Fine-grained Sandstone)
Sedimentary Pebble (Siliclastic)
Quartz Pebble
Silicon dioxide (SiO2)
Vesicular quartz-rich rock, possibly weathered rhyolite or silicified volcanic breccia
Silica-rich volcanic rock; likely microcrystalline quartz (SiO₂) with altered feldspar and iron-oxide staining
Puddingstone
Conglomerate (Jasper Conglomerate)
Quartz (milky quartz), possibly calcite
Quartz: SiO₂; visual identification is uncertain because the specimen is wet and lacks diagnostic crystal faces
Quartz Vein in Host Rock
Crystalline Silicon Dioxide (SiO2) in Pelitic or Shaly Matrix
Sandstone with Quartz Vein
Arenite with Crystalline Silica (SiO2)
Sandstone and Conglomerate pebbles
Sedimentary clastic rock
River Pebble (likely Quartzite or Chert)
Sedimentary Clast (Silicon Dioxide dominant)
Quartz pebble (Quartzite / Chert)
