Dark gray fine-grained rock, possibly slate
Slate (fine-grained metamorphosed mudstone; identification uncertain from image)
Tumbled dark stone, possibly river pebble or hematite
Uncertain; candidates include hematite (Fe₂O₃), basalt, or dark chert
Tumbled dark metallic mineral specimen, possibly hematite or magnetite
Hematite (Fe₂O₃) or magnetite (Fe₃O₄); visual identification is uncertain
Black tumbled stone, possibly obsidian
Obsidian (volcanic glass; predominantly SiO₂), identification uncertain from image
Granite-like rock specimens
Likely granite or granitic rock; exact identification is uncertain from the photograph
Faceted yellow-brown gemstone ring, likely citrine
Citrine (iron-bearing quartz, SiO₂); identification from the photo is uncertain
Likely iron-oxide–stained quartz or quartzite pebble
Quartz (SiO₂), possibly as quartzite; exact identification is uncertain from the image
Possible galena-bearing ore specimen
Uncertain from the image; galena is lead sulfide (PbS), but the specimen is not diagnostic
Light-colored agate (likely chalcedony)
Chalcedony, microcrystalline quartz (SiO₂); exact variety is uncertain from the image
Small rounded gray stone, possibly flint or chert
Likely microcrystalline quartz (SiO₂); exact identification is uncertain from the image
Pale blue-green tumbled stone, possibly amazonite
Uncertain from the image; amazonite is a variety of microcline feldspar, KAlSi₃O₈
Tumbled blue stone, likely blue calcite or dyed stone
Probably calcite (CaCO₃); exact identification is uncertain from the blurred image
Polished black-and-white stone, possibly snowflake obsidian
Likely obsidian (volcanic glass); exact identification is uncertain from the photo
Polished feldspar-rich stone, possibly amazonite
Likely microcline feldspar (KAlSi₃O₈); identification is uncertain from the image
Small gray translucent stone, possibly quartz or glassy mineral
Uncertain; likely microcrystalline quartz (SiO₂), but the image is insufficient for definitive identification
Polished black-and-white banded stone, likely a dendritic agate or marble
Uncertain; probable calcite marble or chalcedony agate with white mineral veining
Likely weathered quartz-rich rock fragment
Uncertain; possibly quartz-bearing granitic or metamorphic material (SiO₂-dominant)
Likely weathered quartz-bearing rock
Uncertain; possibly quartz-rich feldspathic material, with iron-oxide staining
Light-colored weathered rock fragment
Likely limestone or calcareous sandstone; exact identification is uncertain from the photograph
Rounded brown pebble, likely chert or iron-stained quartzite
Microcrystalline quartz (SiO₂), possibly quartzite; identification is uncertain from the image
Rounded iron-rich pebble
Likely ferruginous sandstone or ironstone; exact identification is uncertain from the photograph
Tumbled greenish stone, possibly serpentine or aventurine
Uncertain; likely serpentine-group mineral or quartz-rich green aventurine
Polished/tumbled orange-brown stone, possibly brecciated jasper or quartzite
Uncertain; likely iron-stained microcrystalline quartz (SiO₂), potentially jasper
Colorless faceted gemstone, likely glass or cubic zirconia
Uncertain; possible cubic zirconia (zirconium dioxide, ZrO₂) or synthetic glass
Quartz-rich metallic-looking pebble
Likely quartz or quartzite; exact identification is uncertain from the blurred image
Weathered quartz-rich rock, possibly granite or quartzite
Likely quartz–feldspar aggregate; exact identification is uncertain from the photograph
Dark rounded stone, possibly basalt
Likely fine-grained basalt; exact identification is uncertain from the photograph
Weathered copper-bearing rock fragment
Likely malachite-bearing copper ore; identification uncertain from image
Tumbled pink chalcedony (likely rose quartz or pink agate)
Chalcedony, microcrystalline quartz (SiO₂); exact variety is uncertain from the image
Weathered iron-rich rock, possibly limonite-bearing sandstone or ironstone
Limonite/goethite-rich ferruginous sandstone; composition uncertain from the photograph
Weathered quartz-rich rock, possibly quartzite
Quartzite; predominantly microcrystalline quartz (SiO₂), identification uncertain from the photograph
Polished green cabochon, likely aventurine or serpentine

Tumbled reddish-brown stone, possibly jasper or quartzite
Uncertain; likely microcrystalline quartz (SiO₂), potentially iron-stained jasper
Quartz-rich rock, possibly granite or pegmatite fragment
Likely quartz–feldspar aggregate; exact identification is uncertain from the photograph
Rounded quartz-rich pebble
Likely milky quartz or quartzite (SiO₂), identification uncertain from image
Weathered iron-rich concretion or lateritic pebble
Goethite/hematite-bearing ferruginous concretion; composition uncertain from image
Weathered gray stone, possibly gneiss or granite with attached dark mineral coating
