Iron-rich meteorite candidate
Undetermined stony-iron or iron meteorite; possible weathered iron meteorite
Dark, veined metamorphic rock (possibly gneiss or schist)
Undetermined from the photograph; likely a foliated, quartz-veined metamorphic rock
Fine-grained crystalline rock fragment, possibly limestone or marble
Undetermined carbonate rock; likely calcite-rich limestone or marble (CaCO₃)
Green faceted gemstone earrings, likely synthetic emerald-colored glass or cubic zirconia
Undetermined; possible glass (amorphous silicate) or synthetic cubic zirconia (ZrO₂)
Tumbled green stone, possibly amazonite
Undetermined from the image; amazonite is green microcline feldspar, KAlSi₃O₈
Iron-stained quartz vein in weathered host rock
Quartz (SiO₂) with iron-oxide/hydroxide staining; host rock undetermined
Small brown mineral or rock fragment
Undetermined; the image does not show enough diagnostic detail for reliable identification
Fossil oyster shell
Oyster shell, composed primarily of calcite (CaCO₃); exact species undetermined
Fine-grained, foliated rock (possibly slate or phyllite)
Undetermined; likely slate or phyllite, composed mainly of quartz, mica, and chlorite
Black tumbled stone, possibly obsidian
Undetermined; appearance may resemble obsidian (volcanic glass, SiO₂-rich)
Tumbled orange-brown stone, possibly quartzite or jasper
Undetermined; likely iron-stained quartz-rich rock (quartz, SiO₂)
Polished brown stone, possibly tiger’s eye
Undetermined; tiger’s eye is quartz (SiO₂) with fibrous crocidolite-derived inclusions
Likely metallic meteorite fragment
Undetermined iron meteorite, possibly an iron–nickel alloy (kamacite/taenite)
Iron-rich meteorite candidate
Undetermined Fe–Ni meteorite; possible ordinary chondrite or iron meteorite
Iron-rich meteorite candidate
Undetermined Fe–Ni meteorite, possibly an ordinary chondrite or iron meteorite
Small dark mineral or rock fragment (not identifiable from the image)
Undetermined; the specimen is too small and lacks visible diagnostic features for a reliable identification.
Large rounded boulder, likely foliated metamorphic rock (possibly gneiss or schist)
Undetermined foliated silicate rock; mineral species cannot be confirmed from the photograph
Dark gray rock, possibly basalt or slate
Undetermined from image; likely fine-grained basalt (mafic volcanic rock)
Small rough mineral or rock fragment (not identifiable from the image)
Undetermined; the specimen is too small and lacks diagnostic visible features for a reliable identification
Small gray rock fragment
Undetermined; likely a common silicate-rich stone or concrete/road aggregate fragment
Likely quartz-bearing rock fragment
Undetermined; possibly a coarse-grained granitoid (quartz and feldspar with dark mica or amphibole)
Faceted clear gemstone, likely glass or cubic zirconia
Undetermined; could be synthetic cubic zirconia (ZrO₂) or cut glass (silica-based)
Rounded gray-green rock (likely andesite or basalt cobble)
Undetermined fine-grained volcanic rock; composition cannot be confirmed from the image
Small tumbled dark stone, possibly sodalite or blue-gray jasper
Undetermined from the image; visual appearance is consistent with sodalite-bearing rock or jasper
Unidentified smooth stones
Undetermined from the image; the specimens may be water-worn pebbles of different compositions.
Polished dark-blue cabochon, possibly blue sodalite
Undetermined; blue sodalite is a possible identification (Na₈Al₆Si₆O₂₄Cl₂)
Blue cabochon gemstone, likely synthetic spinel or glass
Undetermined; possible synthetic cobalt-blue spinel (MgAl₂O₄) or colored glass
Black drusy mineral coating, possibly hematite or manganese oxide
Undetermined; likely microcrystalline hematite (Fe₂O₃) or manganese oxides such as pyrolusite (MnO₂)
Iron-rich meteorite candidate
Undetermined; possible stony-iron or iron meteorite, commonly kamacite–taenite alloy
Small water-worn pebble, likely quartz-rich rock
Undetermined rounded lithic pebble; exact composition cannot be identified from the image
Small pale-green tumbled stone, possibly serpentine or aventurine
Undetermined from the image; possible serpentine-group minerals or quartz with fuchsite (aventurine)
Black-and-white banded pebble (likely gneiss or migmatite)
Undetermined banded metamorphic rock; mineral composition cannot be confirmed from the image
Rounded, weathered rock (likely quartz-rich granite or gneiss)
Undetermined quartz–feldspar-rich rock; precise identification requires closer examination
Dark, coarse-grained rock (possibly diorite or amphibolite)
Undetermined; likely a mafic to intermediate rock containing plagioclase and dark amphibole or pyroxene
Small, pale gray-green rock fragment
Undetermined fine-grained silicate rock; exact identification is not possible from the image
Unidentified rough rock fragment
Undetermined; the image does not show enough diagnostic detail for a reliable rock identification
Rounded gray pebble, likely granite or a similar crystalline rock
Undetermined; possibly granitic rock composed mainly of quartz, feldspar, and dark mica
Unidentified mineral specimen, possibly quartz-bearing rock
Undetermined from the photograph; no diagnostic mineral or rock name can be assigned reliably.
Weathered metamorphic outcrop, likely schist or gneiss
Undetermined foliated metamorphic rock; mineral composition cannot be confirmed from the photograph
Small brown mineral or rock fragment (not identifiable from the image)
Undetermined; the specimen is too small and lacks visible diagnostic features for reliable identification
Small brown mineral/rock fragment (unidentified)
Undetermined from the image; no reliable species identification is possible from appearance alone.
Tumbled dark-green stone, possibly serpentine
Undetermined; serpentine-group rock (predominantly serpentine minerals) is a tentative visual identification
