Leopard Skin Jasper
Silicon Dioxide (SiO2) with various inclusions
Basalt
Basalt (Aphanitic Mafic Igneous Rock)
Brecciated jasper, possibly rainforest jasper or brecciated rhyolite
Brecciated microcrystalline quartz (SiO₂), commonly called jasper; the green portions may contain epidote, chlorite, or iron-bearing silicates, while red-brown areas are typically hematite or other iron oxides
Chalcedony (Agate)
Silicon Dioxide (SiO2)
Obsidian
Obsidian (volcanic glass)
Conglomerate
Sedimentary Conglomerate
Quartz Geode Cluster (Iron-stained Quartz)
Silicon Dioxide (SiO2)

Aplite with Arfvedsonite inclusions
Sandstone with Iron Staining
Clastic sedimentary rock (primarily SiO2 with Fe2O3)
Quartz (Druzy) in host rock
SiO₂ (Silicon Dioxide) as Quartz, with unspecified host rock components (likely silicates and iron oxides)
Iron-rich sandstone or laterite fragment
Ferruginous sandstone; possibly laterite/goethite-rich ironstone
