Peridot and Citrine Gemstones (in a ring setting)
Peridot (Olivine: (Mg,Fe)2SiO4), Citrine (Quartz: SiO2)
Quartz
Quartz (SiO₂)
Sandstone
Arenite or Sandstone
Gneiss (likely)
Gneiss
Aquamarine and clear quartz
Aquamarine (Be3Al2Si6O18), Quartz (SiO2)
Chert (Flint)
Chert (predominantly SiO₂ - silicon dioxide)
Labradorite (likely Black Labradorite or Larvikite)
Labradorite (Na,Ca)(Al,Si)4O8. If a rock, it is typically anorthosite, gabbro, or norite, or a variety of syenite called Larvikite if it is specifically from Larvik, Norway.
Serpentinite (Serpentine Rock)
Serpentinite is a rock composed of one or more serpentine group minerals, chiefly antigorite, chrysotile, and lizardite, with the general formula (Mg,Fe)3Si2O5(OH)4. Often includes other minerals like magnetite, talc, and chromite.
Agate (or Chalcedony)
SiO2 (Silicon Dioxide) - a cryptocrystalline variety of quartz
Red Chalcedony (likely dyed)
Chalcedony (a variety of Quartz), SiO2
Chert (or Flint)
Silicon dioxide (SiO2)
Cobaltoan Calcite / Pink Dolomite (Possible)
Cobaltoan Calcite: (Ca,Co)CO3; Pink Dolomite (or Thulite): CaMg(CO3)2 or Mn-Dolomite / (Thulite: Mn2+3Al2(Si2O7)(SiO4)O(OH))
Biotite Mica
K(Mg,Fe)3AlSi3O10(OH)2
Turquoise
Turquoise (CuAl6(PO4)4(OH)8·4H2O)
Smoky Quartz
SiO2 (Silicon Dioxide)
Quartz (pebble)
Quartz (SiO₂)
Schist
Schist (various mineral compositions)
Carnelian
Carnelian (a variety of Chalcedony, SiO2)
Black Chert
Chert (microcrystalline quartz)
Serpentine Jade (New Jade/Olive Jade)
Serpentinite (a rock composed primarily of serpentine minerals) / Mg3Si2O5(OH)4 for Antigorite and Lizardite
Serpentine
Serpentinite (a rock composed primarily of serpentine minerals like antigorite, chrysotile, and lizardite; general formula (Mg, Fe)3Si2O5(OH)4)
Sodalite
Sodalite - Na8(Al6Si6O24)Cl2
Amethyst Geode/Cluster
Quartz (SiO2) - variety Amethyst
Beryl (Variety Mix)
Be3Al2(Si6O18)
Chert Pebble (Jasperoid/Flint)
Silicon Dioxide (SiO2) - cryptocrystalline quartz
Chalcedony (Banded/Mottled Variety)
Chalcedony (a cryptocrystalline variety of Quartz, SiO2)
Selenite
Gypsum (CaSO4·2H2O), specifically the crystalline variety Selenite
Banded Gneiss
Gneiss (typically quartz, feldspar, mica, amphibole composition)
Dolomite
Dolomite (CaMg(CO3)2)
Sapphire (likely blue synthetic sapphire or blue glass in a ring)
Corundum (Al₂O₃), specifically the blue variety due to trace amounts of iron and titanium impurities. If synthetic, it would still be Al₂O₃.
Serpentinite
Serpentinite (a rock composed predominantly of serpentine group minerals)
Schist
N/A (a rock type, not a mineral formula)
Pebble (likely a type of sandstone or quartzite pebble)
Clastic Sediment (specifically, a rudite-sized clast). If the pebble is composed of a specific rock type, its scientific name would be that rock type (e.g., 'Quartzite pebble', 'Granite pebble', 'Chert pebble'). Given its appearance, it is likely a metamorphic quartzite pebble or a hard sandstone pebble.
Granite
Granite (Felsic intrusive igneous rock)
Schist
Schist (various mineralogical compositions including mica, chlorite, talc, etc.)
Diorite (possibly fine-grained variety or a related intermediate intrusive rock like a felsic gabbro or a dark granodiorite)
Diorite (Igneous rock, intrusive, intermediate composition)
Diamond
Diamond (carbon allotrope), C (chemical formula)
Sandstone
Sandstone (lithified arenite/wacke)
Calcite (or Alabaster, if truly carved)
Calcium Carbonate (CaCO3)
