This collection comprises a variety of geological, paleontological, and decorative items. The geological specimens include a fragment of purple amethyst, a piece of rose quartz, a lustrous dark specimen possibly resembling anthracite, and various smooth river pebbles in grey, white, and tan. Paleontological material includes several examples of Gryphaea shells, commonly known as Devil s Toenails, alongside other fossilised shell impressions and ribbed fragments. A single worked stone projectile point, possibly of flint, is present within the group. Decorative objects include a dark-coloured seated figure of a deity, likely carved from stone or cast in resin, and two gold-tone metal keyrings, one featuring a small black carved figure and the other a black whistle.
