Check out the Princeton Field Guide. It's really nice and around $20. If you're looking for the spiritual side of things, I don't have the know-how to provide a recommendation but if you're interested in the mineral themselves you may like it. It has lots of beautiful images and the descriptions are really good. They'll tell you the environments where they form, what their crystal systems look like, how they tend to break (you'll want to know that for drilling your holes and such - I imagine you'd drill perpendicular to cleavage for less fracture).
As far as fancy rock names, you'll just put that together with experience. You can pick up an old edition Earth by Tarbuck for $10 online and that'll tell you all of your basics and from there you can easily branch out.
It can be confusing and frustrating at first, but just keep at it and it'll all come together with some experience. I can recommend things for days, but those books really helped me get a grip on the variety.
If you have any other questions, I'm super happy to help!

I can't speak for any specific trails or such, but I do recommend looking for the book Minnesota's Geology published by University of Minnesota Press. It is written by Dr Richard Ojakangas and Dr Charles Match, both former geology professors at University of Minnesota Duluth. It covers a lot of the interesting geology found in the state, with great coverage of the different bedrock types found throughout and how they relate to geologic history and Minnesota's place in it.
Here's an Amazon link to the book too: https://www.amazon.com/Minnesotas-Geology-Richard-Ojakangas/dp/0816609535
Another one you might like is called Roadside Geology of Minnesota, again by Dr Ojakangas: https://www.amazon.com/Roadside-Geology-Minnesota-Richard-Ojakangas/dp/0878425624
I'm not sure about the rock but your toaster looks like a Proctor Silex 22605. It's a two slot toaster that can be found on amazon and other retail establishments. I hope that helps.
well that's what people usually call the hematite/jasper combo, afaik. If you have better terms for the black-and-gray, we're happy to hear it.
Like wikipedia mentions there's the "classic" bloodstone which is heliotrope, but people call other stuff bloodstone as well.

Learned some basic rocks/minerals as a kid - Quartz, Calcite, Tigereye, Agate, Pyrite, Malachite, Azurite, Labradorite, Granite, Conglomerate, Sandstone, Obsidian, Pumice, Fluorite, etc. I'd find some in my yard and collect them and look them up in some books I had or see them for sale in gift shops and got to know them this way.
Learned some more when I took Mineralogy and Petrology courses throughout my degree.
Learned even more by lurking this sub, seeing examples, and googling more info about ones I don't know about.
Some good resources include Simon and Schusters Guide, NPS, Mindat, etc. and if you're really serious about learning more, MIT offers free open courseware on Intro Geology and Petrology.
...and just to add on some info, they are both varieties of quartz which is silicon dioxide (SiO2). You can just purchase food grade diatomaceous earth if you want to include it in any recipes. It will save you lots of money and have the same effect in any elixir!
Thirded for probable non-geode.
As an aside, Northwestern Mexico is a major geode producing region. The miners, working in tiny, poorly lit tunnels, fill burlap sacks with geodes as they pluck them out of the walls -- their pay is based on a 2-bag-per-day quota, with a bonus for filling extra bags. The sacks are hauled up on a janky-looking pulley system called la cigüeña ("the stork") and trucked to a facility where they are first sorted by size on a bizarre wire contraption. Workers then heft the rocks by hand to sort out the valuable hollow samples from the solid ones, which look identical but are essentially worthless and just discarded in a giant pile outside. (Source: Zeitner and Cross's Geodes: Nature's Treasures)
I can tell you for darn certain that I wouldn't be able to tell the difference between a hollow and a solid without cutting that sucker open!
This would be a good book to check out IMO: http://www.amazon.com/Roadside-Geology-Minnesota-Series/dp/0878425624

There’s what the actual packaging looked like. It has a list of minerals you “may” find in the collection.
It's got to be one that's accurate to at least .1g though. Those kitchen scales aren't accurate enough. This one would work well: https://amzn.com/B0012LOQUQ
If you want, you can buy his book about how to find them https://www.amazon.com/Trail-Stardust-Micrometeorites-Techniques-Identification/dp/0760364583?fbclid=IwAR2raFajZEu0iHmyQlqOFgCfjN1HZeWMsvsUltUggCoKFQ_v2Htd_Kc1hL0
5 dollar amazon holla... or it was, I just looked at past purchases prices have risen. Anyways I ordered a Natural Green Aventurine from them and it was real, non dyed now low quality. Bummer to see you got a low quality item. I don't know if you bought this or was a gift. But it is listed what each stone is on the page. yours "Dyed Lapis Lazuli"

I think the layered rock is sedimentary, the regular patterns indicate seasonal depositions. So it is sort of like tree rings. There are some good books on rocks, you will learn a lot more by reading a few.

Its green jasper . You can tell because has the same fracture pattern as glass.
