Soumik,

Thanks for the detail of your tests. I cannot give you a positive ID though. I may be able to give some clues to aid your search.

Specimens 3 & 4 look like they could be quartz family. 1 could also be related quartz but the photo doesn't show much detail. Number 2
is different from the others. There are several minerals present. I would guess a type of granite.
