Arkose ( /ˈɑːrkoʊz/) is a detrital sedimentary rock, specifically a type of sandstone containing at least 25% feldspar. Arkosic sand is sand that is similarly rich in feldspar, and thus the potential precursor of arkose. Quartz is commonly the dominant mineral component, and some mica is often present. Apart from the mineral content, rock fragments may also be a significant component. Arkose usually contains small amounts of calcite cement, which causes it to effervesce (fizz) slightly in dilute hydrochloric acid; sometimes the cement also contains iron oxide. Arkose is typically grey to reddish in colour. The sand grains making up an arkose may range from fine to very coarse, but tend toward the coarser end of the scale. Fossils are rare in arkose, due to the depositional processes that form it, although bedding is frequently visible. Arkose is generally formed from the weathering of feldspar-rich igneous or metamorphic, most commonly granitic, rocks, which are primarily composed of quartz and feldspar (called 'grus' as a sand). These sediments must be deposited rapidly and/or in a cold or arid environment such that the feldspar does not undergo significant chemical weathering and decomposition; therefore arkose is designated a texturally immature sedimentary rock. Arkose is often associated with conglomerate deposits sourced from granitic terrain and is often found above unconformities in the immediate vicinity of granite terrains. The central Australian inselberg Uluru (Ayers Rock) is composed of late Neoproterozoic/Cambrian arkose, deposited in the Amadeus Basin.

Unakite tumbled is a blend of cream, pistachio-green, and salmon-pink colors, with an aesthetic mottled effect and smooth finish. Unakite tumbled is abundant and sourced worldwide, with mines in the USA, South Africa, Sierra Leone, and China. It is very popular for beads, cabochons, and carved ornamental pieces.

Sylvanite or silver gold telluride, (Ag,Au)Te2, is the most common telluride of gold.

Regarded for its beauty and delicate look, blue Lace Agate tumbled is a rare agate with beautiful lacy bands of gray, white, light blue, or sometimes brown. It is mined in Namibia, as well as in USA, India, China, and Brazil. It can be seen in beads and cabochons, and it's often used for jewelry making.
