Water-worn brown pebble, likely basalt or other fine-grained volcanic rock
Undetermined mafic volcanic rock; basalt is a plausible identification
Possible iron-rich meteorite fragment
Undetermined; possibly an iron meteorite or stony-iron meteorite
Small brown rock fragment
Undetermined; possibly weathered iron-stained quartzite or chert
Dark rock/mineral fragment
Undetermined; possibly magnetite-rich basalt or iron sulfide
Small dark mineral or rock fragment
Undetermined; possibly a dark mafic mineral such as biotite or magnetite
Tumbled yellow-brown stone, likely jasper or quartzite
Undetermined; possibly microcrystalline quartz (SiO₂) in jasper or quartzite
Iron-stained weathered stone (tentative)
Undetermined; possibly weathered iron-rich basalt or concretion
Faceted blue gemstone ring, likely synthetic spinel or glass; identity uncertain
Possibly synthetic blue spinel (MgAl₂O₄) or laboratory sapphire (Al₂O₃); the clear side stones may be cubic zirconia or glass
Small dark stone (unidentified)
Undetermined; image lacks enough detail for reliable identification
Small rounded pebble (likely quartz-rich stone)
Undetermined; possibly quartzite or a quartz-rich river pebble
Rounded weathered stone (likely river cobble)
Undetermined; possibly fine-grained volcanic rock such as andesite
Small dark rock fragment (unidentified)
Undetermined; composition cannot be identified reliably from this photograph
Small weathered stone fragment
Undetermined; possibly a feldspar- or quartz-bearing rock fragment
Color-change gemstone ring (stone possibly alexandrite or a synthetic imitation)
Undetermined from the image; alexandrite is chrysoberyl, BeAl₂O₄
Likely black river pebble
Undetermined; possibly a dark mafic rock such as basalt or andesite
Dark tumbled stone, likely black river pebble
Undetermined; possibly basalt or a dark metamorphic rock such as slate
Small brown mineral or rock fragment
Undetermined; the image lacks enough detail for a reliable identification
Blue gemstone bead bracelet, likely dyed agate or another blue stone
Undetermined; possibly dyed chalcedony (microcrystalline quartz, SiO₂)
Pistachio-green and dark mineral-bearing rock, possibly serpentine with dark inclusions
Undetermined; the image is insufficient for reliable species-level identification
Red cabochon gemstone ring (likely glass or synthetic stone)
Undetermined; the image does not establish a natural mineral identity
Metallic meteorite fragment (probable stony-iron or iron meteorite)
Undetermined meteoritic Fe–Ni alloy with silicate minerals
Possible iron-rich stone or meteorite fragment
Undetermined; possibly magnetite-bearing rock or an ordinary chondrite
Likely metallic meteorite fragment
Undetermined; possibly an iron meteorite or stony-iron meteorite
Undetermined Due to Blur (Possible Flesh-Tone Mineral)
Unknown (Insufficient Visual Clarity)
Dark weathered igneous cobble, likely basalt
Basalt; fine-grained mafic rock composed chiefly of plagioclase and pyroxene, commonly with olivine
Dark rock fragment, possibly basalt
