Galena (PbS)

Chert (Flint)

Microcrystalline Quartz (SiO2)

Cubic Zirconia

Cubic Zirconium Dioxide (ZrO2)

Weathered iron-rich stone, possibly limonite-bearing sandstone or laterite

Goethite–hematite/limonite mixture; exact identification requires testing

Unclassified meteoritic material; likely Fe–Ni metal with weathering oxides

Carved pyrite frog or toad

Pyrite (iron disulfide, FeS₂), likely a carved massive aggregate

Weathered quartz-rich pebble

Likely quartz-bearing granitoid or quartz vein fragment; exact identification requires testing

Rounded iron-rich pebble

Likely ferruginous sandstone or ironstone; exact identification requires testing

Weathered iron-rich rock, possibly basalt or ironstone

Likely vesicular basalt or ferruginous breccia; exact identification requires testing

Small rounded pebble, likely sandstone or weathered limestone

Indeterminate clastic carbonate/siliciclastic pebble; mineral composition appears dominated by quartz, feldspar, and/or calcite

Polished ocean jasper (orbicular jasper), probable

Microcrystalline quartz/chalcedony (SiO₂) with iron-oxide and other mineral inclusions

Tumbled dark stone, possibly hematite or black jasper

Uncertain; likely hematite (Fe₂O₃) or fine-grained chalcedony/jasper (SiO₂)

Polished black stone sphere (likely black basalt or black tourmaline)

Most likely fine-grained basalt (plagioclase–pyroxene); mineral identification is uncertain from the image alone

Black Veined Jasper (Spiderweb Jasper)
