Possible tumbled dark-green stone
Indeterminate from the blurry image; possibly serpentine or another green ornamental stone
Polished pink stone, possibly rose quartz
Unconfirmed; if rose quartz, silicon dioxide (SiO₂), trigonal quartz
Unidentifiable Rock Fragment
Likely garnet crystal
Garnet-group silicate; species cannot be determined from the image
Faceted yellow gemstone, possibly citrine
Unconfirmed; citrine is yellow quartz (SiO₂)
Small pale-green tumbled stone, possibly serpentine or aventurine
Undetermined from the image; possible serpentine-group minerals or quartz with fuchsite (aventurine)
Mica-bearing metamorphic rock, likely schist
Mica schist; likely composed of quartz and mica (muscovite and/or biotite), with possible feldspar
Tumbled chalcedony (likely agate)
Microcrystalline quartz, SiO₂; chalcedony, possibly banded agate
Faceted clear gemstone ring, likely white sapphire or diamond
Unidentified colorless gemstone; diamond (C) or sapphire (Al₂O₃) cannot be distinguished from the image
Jewelry with a heart-shaped purple gemstone and an oval shell cameo
Purple stone is possibly amethyst (quartz, SiO₂); cameo is likely carved shell, commonly *Cypraecassis rufa* or *Cassidae* shell
Quartz-rich rock fragment
Likely milky quartz with feldspar and possible mica; exact rock type is indeterminate from the image
Likely granite pebble
Granite, a quartz–feldspar–mica intrusive igneous rock
Greenstone / serpentinite-like metamorphic rock
Probable serpentinite-rich greenschist; commonly dominated by serpentine-group minerals, chlorite, actinolite, and magnetite
Polished banded stone, likely labradorite or gneiss
Probably feldspar-rich gneiss; possible labradorite-bearing rock (plagioclase feldspar, chiefly (Ca,Na)(Al,Si)₄O₈)
Small polished jasper or agate pebble
Likely microcrystalline quartz (SiO₂); exact variety cannot be determined from the photo
Blue glassy mineral fragment, possibly blue calcite
Unconfirmed; blue calcite is calcium carbonate (CaCO₃)
Iron-rich rock fragment (tentative)
Unidentified iron oxide/hydroxide-rich material; possible hematite or goethite
Likely iron-rich breccia or weathered ironstone
Ironstone breccia; composition cannot be confirmed from the photograph
Chromite-bearing serpentinite (probable)
Serpentinite with disseminated chromite; chromite is FeCr₂O₄
Weathered rock fragment, possibly basalt
Unidentified fine-grained mafic rock; basalt is a tentative visual identification
Conglomerate (possibly concrete-like natural breccia)
Lithified, poorly sorted clastic rock with angular to subrounded mineral and rock fragments in a finer matrix
Green aventurine pendant (likely)
Quartz, SiO₂, with green fuchsite inclusions (aventurescent quartz)
Likely gypsum (selenite/alabaster), possibly a weathered evaporite fragment
Gypsum, CaSO₄·2H₂O
Polished serpentine (likely green serpentine)
Serpentine-group minerals, chiefly antigorite, lizardite, or chrysotile; composition varies
Ironstone (limonite/goethite-rich rock)
Limonite, a mixture of hydrated iron oxides, commonly including goethite (α-FeO(OH))
Blue kyanite (probable)
Kyanite, Al₂SiO₅
Polished gemstone beads, likely brown tiger’s eye with an orange bead and a green bead
Tiger’s eye: fibrous quartz (SiO₂) with iron-oxide inclusions; the orange and green beads cannot be identified confidently from the image
Polished chert (likely jasper or iron-rich chert)
Microcrystalline quartz, SiO₂, colored by iron oxides and possibly clay minerals
Mica-rich schist (likely garnet-mica schist)
Mica schist, composed mainly of muscovite and/or biotite; the reddish-brown grains may be garnet, but cannot be confirmed from the image alone
Pumice
Pumice, a highly vesicular volcanic glass composed mainly of rhyolitic to dacitic silicate material
Likely gneiss
Gneiss, composed chiefly of quartz, feldspar, and mica/amphibole
Small gray stone, possibly granite or quartz-rich pebble
Indeterminate; likely a weathered quartz–feldspar rock fragment
Iron-stained quartz-rich rock (possibly ironstone or quartzite)
Quartz-rich silicate rock with iron oxides; exact rock type cannot be confirmed from the image
Faceted yellow gemstone, possibly citrine
Unconfirmed from the image; if citrine, it is iron-colored quartz (SiO₂).
Likely gray mudstone or shale fragment
Fine-grained siliciclastic sedimentary rock; exact composition cannot be determined from the image
Likely pink feldspar (orthoclase or microcline)
Potassium feldspar, KAlSi₃O₈
Vesicular volcanic rock, likely pumice or vesicular andesite
Vesicular volcanic rock; exact composition cannot be determined from the photo
Weathered granite or granitic gneiss
Granite; mainly quartz, feldspar, and mica
Tumbled feldspar, likely orthoclase
