Goldstone (Brown/Gold variety)
Aventurine Glass (SiO2 with Copper inclusions)
Blue Goldstone
Goldstone (artificial glass)
Note: This is a Man-Made Object (Costume/Prop Patch)
Synthetic fiber and pigments (Cellulose/Plastic-based composite)
Man-made Synthetic Material (Plastic/Composite)
Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene (ABS) or High-Impact Polystyrene (HIPS)
Black Obsidian
Amorphous volcanic glass (SiO2 + impurities)
Green sea glass or tumbled green quartz (uncertain)
Likely quartz (SiO₂) if natural; alternatively man-made soda-lime glass
Man-made Jewelry (Metal and Glass/Plastic)
Synthetic Alloy and Amorphous Solid (SiO2/Polymer)
Green obsidian (likely molded or heat-treated glass-like specimen)
Volcanic glass; predominantly rhyolitic composition (silica-rich amorphous SiO₂)
Polished white calcite sphere (identification tentative)
Calcite, CaCO₃
Green sea glass (likely bottle glass)
Man-made soda–lime silicate glass; not a natural mineral
Sea Glass
Amorphous silicon dioxide (Man-made glass weathered by nature)
Aura Quartz (Titanium/Gold coated)
Silicon Dioxide (SiO2) with metallic vapor deposition
Polished white chalcedony or quartz pendant
Microcrystalline quartz (chalcedony), SiO₂; exact identification is uncertain from the image
Polished black stone, likely obsidian
Obsidian (volcanic glass; mostly silica-rich rhyolitic composition)
Chert (Arrowhead)
Microcrystalline Quartz (SiO2)
Chert Arrowhead (Projectile Point)
Microcrystalline Quartz (SiO2)
Chert Arrowhead
Microcrystalline Quartz (SiO2)
Blue opal heart cabochon
Common opal, hydrated amorphous silica (SiO₂·nH₂O), likely blue-dyed or synthetic opalite
Aura Quartz
Titanium/Titanium-Gold treated Silicon Dioxide (SiO2)
Red Slag Glass
Amorphous Silica (Industrial byproduct with metallic oxide dopants)
Slag
Anthropogenic silicate slag
Slag
Anthropogenic silicate slag
Slag (Industrial Glass/Byproduct)
Anthropogenic Vitreous Silicate
Iron Slag
Anthropogenic pyrometallurgical byproduct
Iron Slag
Anthropogenic pyrometallurgical residue
Slag (Industrial)
N/A (Anthropogenic Slag)
Botryoidal chalcedony (likely agate/jasper variety)
Microcrystalline quartz, SiO₂
Polished silver sheen obsidian heart
Obsidian (volcanic glass), primarily rhyolitic silica-rich glass
Red goldstone beads
Goldstone (man-made copper-bearing glass; not a natural mineral)
Blue glassy tumbled stone, likely blue chalcedony or slag glass
Chalcedony (microcrystalline SiO₂), possibly man-made blue glass
Green sea glass (likely bottle glass)
Man-made soda-lime silicate glass; not a natural mineral
Chert Arrowhead
Cryptocrystalline Quartz (SiO2)
Metal Alloy (Likely Pewter or Sterling Silver)
Not a natural geological specimen; composed of refined metals. If pewter, it's a tin-based alloy. If sterling silver, it's 92.5% silver and 7.5% other metals (usually copper).
Chert (Yellow Jasper)
Cryptocrystalline Quartz (SiO2)
Chert (Arrowhead Fragment)
Silicon Dioxide (SiO2)
Likely blue-green glassy slag or a weathered mineral fragment
Unidentified; the image does not show diagnostic features sufficient for a mineral identification

Carnelian: chalcedony (microcrystalline SiO₂), commonly iron-colored
Opalite
Synthetic Opalised Glass
Carborundum (Silicon Carbide)
Silicon Carbide (SiC)
Polished black pebble, possibly obsidian
Volcanic glass (obsidian), likely; identification is tentative from the image
