Even some chunks of crystal and amethyst. We have one piece of petrified wood that's a little bit smaller than a beach ball. It weighs about 80 pounds.

They're all types, but predominately calcite, fluorite, scheelite, and powellite. Lots of others such as many times of chalcedony, lots of caliche, etc... Plenty of common minerals in Franklin, NJ (like Willemite), but not too common outside of there.
