Collection of Small Raw Mineral and Rock Specimens

This collection consists of approximately 25 to 30 small, raw mineral and geological specimens resting on a purple Kendall Hunt textbook. The specimens vary in size from roughly 0.5 cm to 3 cm in length. The assortment includes a wide variety of colors and textures, indicating a diverse geological composition. Notable specimens include a translucent white quartz or calcite fragment, several green stones that may be adventurine or unpolished jade, and fragments with reddish-orange hues suggesting iron-rich minerals or jasper. One specific item stands out as a dark, possibly metallic or high-luster square-cut stone, which contrasts with the otherwise jagged, natural fracture patterns of the other pieces. The collection appears to be a typical beginner's geology set or 'treasure' gather from a mine-rough bag. Physically, the specimens show no signs of professional polishing, meaning they retain their natural luster and crystalline structure. There are no visible maker's marks, as these are natural objects. The condition is raw and uncleaned, with visible dust and natural debris consistent with educational or hobbyist handling.
