Red jasper pebble
Jasper, an opaque, iron-oxide-colored variety of microcrystalline quartz (SiO₂)
Sandstone
Arenite
Beaded gemstone bracelet
Indeterminate; likely small polished mineral beads, possibly turquoise or dyed stone, with metal and glass components
Dark gray water-worn pebble
Likely basalt or another fine-grained mafic rock; exact identification is not possible from the image alone
Synthetic Wolf Plush (Non-mineral)
Canis lupus similis (Prop material: Polyester & Synthetic fibers)
Quartz Pebble (Beach Chalcedony)
Silicon Dioxide (SiO2)
Quartzite
Metamorphic Quartz Rock (SiO2)
Desert Rose (Gypsum Rose)
Calcium Sulfate Dihydrate (CaSO4·2H2O)
Faceted glass-like gemstone (likely synthetic quartz or cubic zirconia)
Identification uncertain; possibilities include synthetic quartz (SiO₂) or cubic zirconia (ZrO₂)
Exposed aggregate concrete (stone-chip surface)
Portland-cement concrete containing natural aggregate; not a natural rock
Sandstone (Quartzose)
Arenite (primarily SiO2)
Likely green bottle glass, not a geological specimen

Metamorphic Quartz Rock (SiO2)
Turquoise ring
Turquoise, CuAl₆(PO₄)₄(OH)₈·4H₂O; the setting appears to be silver-colored metal
Chert (White Chert/Flint)
Microcrystalline Quartz (SiO2)
Bituminous Coal
Organic-rich sedimentary rock (Complex hydrocarbons)
Belemnoit (Fossil)
Belemnoidea (Order), Rostrum / Guard
Ruby (set in a ring; possibly synthetic or imitation)
Corundum, Al₂O₃; red color is typically caused by chromium
Faceted red gemstone, likely ruby
Corundum (Al₂O₃), red variety colored mainly by chromium
Sandstone (Quartzose)
Arenite (primarily SiO2)
Polished stone sphere, possibly agate or jasper
Likely microcrystalline quartz (SiO₂); exact variety cannot be confirmed from the image
Sandstone
Arenite (primarily SiO2)
Diamond-set gold ring
Diamond (carbon, C) in a gold-alloy setting; the stone may be a diamond or a diamond simulant
Green glassy slag (often sold as “sea glass” or “green obsidian”)
Industrial vitreous slag; primarily amorphous silicate glass, composition variable
Yellow cabochon gemstone, likely citrine or yellow glass imitation
Quartz (SiO₂), if natural citrine; visual evidence is insufficient to exclude man-made glass or resin
Polished blue-green glassy slag or coated mineral fragment
Most likely man-made colored glass/slag; exact composition cannot be determined visually
Moonstone cabochon (probable)
Adularescent feldspar, usually orthoclase–albite intergrowth (KAlSi3O8–NaAlSi3O8)
Chert
Microcrystalline Quartz (SiO2)
Sandstone (Quartzose)
Arenite (composed primarily of SiO2)
