Unknown Rock Fragment
Undetermined
Unidentifiable Specimen
Undetermined
Possible iron-rich pebble with a weathered inclusion
Unidentified; image alone does not support a reliable mineral or rock identification
Unidentified small mineral or rock fragment
Not identifiable from the image; the fragment may be a common silicate or other mineral grain.
Uncertain small stone; possibly weathered quartz-bearing rock
Indeterminate from image; candidate materials include quartz-rich pebble or altered silicate rock
Generic Rock Sample
Undetermined geological specimen
White tumbled stone, likely quartz or calcite
Indeterminate; possibly quartz (SiO₂) or calcite (CaCO₃)
Unidentified small mineral specimen
Undetermined from the image
Generic Rock / Pebble
Undetermined rock specimen
Weathered pebble, possibly quartz-rich river stone
Unidentified silicate rock; composition cannot be determined reliably from the image
Fossil oyster shell
Fossilized bivalve mollusk shell; exact species and age cannot be determined from the image
Unidentified dark pebble
Undetermined; possibly polished basalt, chert, or iron-rich stone
Small unidentified mineral specimen
Indeterminate from image; possibly a quartz-family crystal or sulfide mineral
Tiny amber-colored crystal or mineral fragment
Indeterminate from image; possibly quartz, citrine, topaz, or iron-stained feldspar
Unidentified metallic mineral fragment
Indeterminate; possibly galena, hematite, or a metallic meteorite fragment
Small metallic mineral fragment
Indeterminate; possibly galena, hematite, magnetite, or metallic meteorite fragment
Possibly garnet-bearing rock fragment
Unidentified reddish-brown mineral or rock; the image is insufficient for a reliable species identification.
Small rounded pebble
Unidentified lithic pebble; composition cannot be determined from the image
Reddish-brown tumbled stone, possibly jasper
Unidentified iron-oxide-stained silicate; exact material cannot be determined from the image
Unidentified metallic-looking mineral fragment
Indeterminate; possible galena, magnetite, or metal-rich sulfide/ore fragment
Unidentified dark rock fragment
Likely fine-grained mafic mineral aggregate; exact identification requires testing
Likely weathered iron-rich rock fragment
Indeterminate; possibly limonite/goethite-bearing sandstone or ironstone
Likely polished black-and-white stone fragment
Indeterminate from image; possibly tourmalinated quartz, black-and-white jasper, or coated stone
Weathered geode or vug-bearing rock
Likely a quartz- or calcite-lined geode/vug in a host rock; exact minerals cannot be confirmed from the image
Small dark pebble, likely a fine-grained metamorphic rock
Undetermined; possibly slate or amphibolite
Small brown pebble, possibly chert or iron-stained quartz
Undetermined; visual identification is inconclusive
Small dark pebble, likely fine-grained sedimentary rock
Undetermined; possibly siltstone or mudstone
Dark, rounded rock (possibly basalt)
Undetermined; basalt is a tentative visual identification
Brown faceted gemstone, possibly smoky quartz
Undetermined; smoky quartz is SiO₂
Weathered gray stone fragment
Undetermined; possibly limestone or sandstone
Gray rock (possibly basalt or fine-grained granite)
Undetermined; no diagnostic minerals are visible
Unidentified small tan stone
Likely quartz-rich pebble; exact identification is impossible from the image alone
Iron-rich reddish rock, possibly weathered basalt or ironstone
Indeterminate; likely oxidized mafic rock containing iron oxides and silicate minerals
Uncertain dark-and-white rock fragment
Likely a mixed lithic specimen, possibly quartz-bearing granite or ore; exact identification is not possible from the photograph
Unknown dark mineral fragment
Indeterminate; possibly a dark silicate mineral or slag-like geological fragment
Weathered brown rock fragment
Indeterminate; possibly weathered granite, gneiss, or iron-stained quartz-rich rock
Rounded greenish pebble
Indeterminate; likely weathered quartzite, greenstone, or altered volcanic rock
Unidentified brown rock fragment
Indeterminate from image; likely a weathered iron-rich lithic fragment
Uncertain fine-grained rock or mineral-bearing specimen
Indeterminate; possible quartz- or feldspar-bearing matrix with reflective grains
Blue-gray mineral/rock fragment
Indeterminate; possibly azurite-bearing material, blue chalcedony, or dyed/coated stone
Dark mineral-rich rock fragment
Indeterminate; possibly dark quartzite, chert, or weathered igneous rock
