Unknown
Likely small iron-rich concretion or weathered mineral fragment
Indeterminate; possibly limonite/goethite-bearing material with quartz or feldspar
Unidentified small rock fragment

Mixed mineral and rock collection
Predominantly quartz varieties, including amethyst, plus likely calcite, feldspar, mica, and miscellaneous polished stones
Small rounded mineral/rock fragment
Indeterminate; possibly quartz-rich stone or feldspar
Likely weathered quartz-bearing rock fragment
Indeterminate; appears to contain quartz (SiO₂) with iron-oxide staining, possibly from quartzite, granite, or pegmatite
Unidentified Rock
Unknown
Unidentified small rounded mineral/rock fragment
Indeterminate from image; possibly quartz or chalcedony with iron-oxide staining
Tiny amber-colored crystal fragment
Indeterminate; possibly quartz, feldspar, mica, or a sulfide mineral
Unidentifiable Specimen
Undetermined
Likely quartz-rich pebble
Quartz-bearing granite, granitic gneiss, or quartzite (indeterminate from photo)
Likely weathered quartz-rich rock fragment
Indeterminate; possibly quartz-bearing sandstone or chert with iron-oxide staining
Likely serpentine or serpentinite
Serpentine-group minerals, chiefly antigorite, lizardite, or chrysotile; approximate formula Mg3Si2O5(OH)4
Small metallic-looking rock fragment
Uncertain; possibly galena-bearing ore or mica-rich schist
Likely serpentinite with a polished dark-green serpentine pebble
Serpentinite; chiefly serpentine-group minerals (Mg₃Si₂O₅(OH)₄), commonly with magnetite and minor chromite/talc
Likely iron sulfide specimen (pyrite or marcasite)
Pyrite, FeS₂; possibly marcasite, also FeS₂
Unidentified polished mineral specimen
Indeterminate; likely a pale feldspar or quartz-bearing material
Small rounded pebble, possibly quartz-rich stone
Indeterminate from image; likely quartz-bearing silicate rock
Unknown White Specimen
Unidentifiable due to blurriness
Rounded gray-brown river pebble
Indeterminate lithic clast; likely weathered sandstone or fine-grained metamorphic rock
Rounded brown river pebble
Indeterminate lithic fragment; possibly weathered sandstone, mudstone, or basalt
Unknown Rock Fragment
Unknown
Rounded river cobble, likely weathered volcanic or metamorphic rock
Indeterminate from photograph; possible basaltic-andesite, rhyolite, or quartz-rich metamorphic lithology
Sandstone or Quartzite with algae
Unknown specific, largely SiO2 with biological growth
Tumbled pale greenish stone, likely serpentine or altered limestone
Probable serpentine-group rock (antigorite/lizardite), possibly serpentinite; identification is visual only
Unknown Rock
Unknown
Greenstone, possibly serpentine or altered basalt
Serpentinite (Mg₃Si₂O₅(OH)₄) or chlorite-epidote altered basalt; identification is uncertain from the image
Serpentinite (likely)
Serpentinite; chiefly serpentine-group minerals, Mg₃Si₂O₅(OH)₄, commonly with magnetite and minor carbonates
Polished amber-colored stone, possibly chert or jasper
Uncertain from image; likely microcrystalline quartz (SiO₂) if chert/jasper
