1st pic: Vesicular andesite, looks like BB's beat the shit out of it, but normally it caused by gas bubbles similar to pumice. Less silica content than pumice...
2nd Pic: Inside andesite, vesicles penetrate inside, this how it was cooked into shape. [Also little nodules of pure quartz, sulfur minerals, maybe gold, etc. etc.
3rd Pic:
True basalt black as night low silica content.
4th pic: Granite with something, not a pure granite, I think, but this is a terrible example say something like pink or salmon colored granite....
5th pic: Clay's formed under similar process but mix in water and they break apart quite easily
Last pic: more vesicular andesite but w/out nodules inside, purer silica/Al combo probably.
Last Last pic is a Rock diagram of chemical constituents. Sorry for the horrible quality, if you have a bigger screen it might be worthwhile to peruse.
I don't have a lot of dirt, so this is easier by hand for now, but for larger you many need an Actual rock crusher....:)
Crush up, Screen into 1/4"-1/8", separate bigger back into crush pile and filter the rock dust out of the bag into 200 micron filter. I used 100, because it was all I had or maybe it was 170m?
