Lazy...

It looks like one of them is either sandstone or sulfur... Maybe schist is in there too.


Thank you to jhoijhoi for the sig, and all the dividers in the guide.

Well if I could feel them and weigh them then I might be able to help you.

First off, my rock knowledge is rusty. I don't think any of them are exclusively one thing, but I can try to guess the main components.

1) I'm actually not sure about this one. I can't really tell from the picture. Is it composed of hard crystals, or does it flake? It looks like hard crystals, but I can't tell.

2) It's either quartz or mica. The top one looks flaky, so I say mica. The bottom one is probably the same, but I'm not sure from the picture.

3) I think this is a feldspar. Has quartz silicates on it, but I don't think it's granite.

4) That looks a lot like granite to me, but I don't remember it having that crystal structure. Granite rarely has proper crystal structure, so it's possible that it is. Not sure.

5) Quartz. Can't really be more specific than that, but that's what it is. Almost certain.

6) Feldspar, I believe. Once again, almost sure.

I'm pretty sure these are at least all silicates, most of them in the quartz/feldspar/granite/mica families. If you want a place to try and look some of these up on your own, though:

76. GLHF is code for "We are going to rape you". Not returning the favor is giving consent.

I think I figured them out.
1. Olivine
2. Gypsum
3. Talc
4. Garnet
5. Plagioclase Feldspar
6. Orthoclase Feldspar

I really, really don't think that the third one is talc. Talc powders your hand just by touching it and is like hardened baby powder. But maybe I'm wrong.

The rest I can roll with. A few of those I now feel slightly silly for guessing wrong, since I should have known them (like gypsum), but I hope I was somewhat helpful, at least. >_>

Glad you were able to figure it out.
