Leopard Skin Jasper
Microcrystalline Quartz (SiO2) with mineral impurities
Multicolored gemstone ring, likely set with tourmaline or mixed colored stones
Unidentifiable from the image; possible tourmaline (complex borosilicate) and/or other colored gemstones in a metal setting
Garnet (Almandine)
Almandine Fe3Al2(SiO4)3
Citrine
Silicon Dioxide (SiO2)
Almandine Garnet in Matrix
Almandine, Fe3Al2(SiO4)3
Faceted clear gemstone in a metal setting
Unidentified transparent faceted gem; possibilities include quartz (SiO₂), topaz (Al₂SiO₄(F,OH)₂), or glass—the image is insufficient for identification.
Peridot
Olivine ((Mg, Fe)2SiO4)
Green gemstone in a jewelry setting (possibly emerald or green glass)
Not identifiable from the image; if natural emerald, beryl (Be₃Al₂Si₆O₁₈)
Fairburn Agate
Cryptocrystalline Quartz (SiO2) with inclusions
Lake Superior Agate
Silicon dioxide (SiO2)
Lake Superior Agate
Silicon Dioxide (Chalcedony)
Likely lepidolite-bearing pegmatite
Lithium-mica pegmatite, chiefly lepidolite (K(Li,Al)₃(Si,Al)₄O₁₀(F,OH)₂) with quartz and feldspar
Weathered quartz-rich rock, possibly granite or quartzite
Indeterminate; likely quartz–feldspar aggregate, potentially granitic, or recrystallized quartzite
Blue Topaz
Aluminum silicate fluoride hydroxide (Al2SiO4(F,OH)2)
Smoky Quartz
Silicon Dioxide (SiO2)
Rhodonite
Manganese silicate (Mn,Fe,Mg,Ca)SiO3
Turquoise
CuAl6(PO4)4(OH)8·4H2O (Hydrous phosphate of copper and aluminum)
Sunstone
Plagioclase Feldspar (Na,Ca)(Al,Si)4O8
Turquoise
CuAl6(PO4)4(OH)8·4H2O
Gemstone-set silver jewelry piece
Likely mixed faceted gemstones in a silver-colored metal setting; stones may include sapphire, ruby/garnet, and yellow sapphire or citrine, but the image is insufficient for species-level identification.
Red glassy mineral specimen, likely synthetic ruby or red spinel
Most consistent with synthetic corundum (Al₂O₃, ruby) or synthetic spinel (MgAl₂O₄); exact identification requires testing
Diamond (or Cubic Zirconia simulant)
C (Carbon) or ZrO2 (Zirconium Dioxide)
Emerald (cut gemstone)
Beryl, Be₃Al₂(SiO₃)₆; green color typically from chromium and/or vanadium
Emerald (Faceted Gemstone)
Beryl (Be3Al2Si6O18 with Chromium/Vanadium impurities)
Multi-stone gemstone ring
Likely faceted blue topaz or synthetic blue stone with clear stones, possibly cubic zirconia or diamond; metal setting appears silver-colored alloy
Yellow tumbled stone, likely citrine or yellow chalcedony
Uncertain from the image; possibilities include quartz (SiO₂) or chalcedony (microcrystalline SiO₂)
Moonstone
Orthoclase (Potassium Aluminum Silicate), Formula: (K,Na)AlSi3O8
Rhodonite
Manganese silicate (Mn,Fe,Mg,Ca)SiO3
Blue cabochon gemstone, likely blue sapphire
Corundum (Al₂O₃), colored blue by trace iron and titanium
Polished red gemstone beads, possibly garnet
Unconfirmed; likely almandine garnet (Fe₃Al₂(SiO₄)₃)
Gold and Diamond Jewelry
Native Gold (Au) and Diamond (C)
Red gemstone ring, likely garnet or synthetic ruby
Possibly almandine garnet (Fe₃Al₂(SiO₄)₃) or corundum/ruby (Al₂O₃); image alone cannot distinguish
Biotite-bearing granite or granitic gneiss
Quartz–feldspar–biotite aggregate; likely granite, possibly weathered gneiss
Green Aventurine
Aventurine Quartz (SiO2 with Fuchsite inclusions)
Aventurine (likely Green Aventurine)
Silicon Dioxide (SiO2) with mineral inclusions
Tanzanite
Blue Zoisite (Ca2Al3(SiO4)(Si2O7)O(OH))
Chalcedony
Silicon Dioxide (SiO2)
Chrysoprase
Chalcedony (SiO2)
Almandine Garnet
Fe3Al2(SiO4)3
Chakra Crystal Pendant
Mixed Quartz and Chalcedony (SiO2)
Colorless tourmaline (probably elbaite)
Elbaite, Na(Li₁.₅Al₁.₅)Al₆(Si₆O₁₈)(BO₃)₃(OH)₃(OH)
Turquoise bead bracelet
Turquoise, hydrated copper–aluminum phosphate: CuAl₆(PO₄)₄(OH)₈·4H₂O (bead material may be stabilized or dyed)
