Sandstone
Clastic sedimentary rock (Quartz arenite/Arkose)
Coquina
Biogenic Limestone (CaCO3)
Iridescent polished gemstone, likely opal
Common or precious opal (hydrated amorphous silica, SiO₂·nH₂O), possibly synthetic or glass imitation
Tumbled quartz-rich pebble
Microcrystalline quartz (SiO₂), possibly milky quartz or quartzite
Granite
Granite (Phaneritic Quartz-Feldspar intrusive rock)
Rounded pink granite cobble
Granite, chiefly quartz–alkali feldspar–plagioclase–biotite
Chert (Flint / Jasper variant)
Microcrystalline Quartz (SiO2)
Marble
Metamorphic Limestone (CaCO3)
Unakite
Altered Granite (Epidotized Granite)
Green gemstone ring, likely emerald simulant or jade
Uncertain; possible beryl (emerald, Be₃Al₂Si₆O₁₈) or jadeite (NaAlSi₂O₆), but the blurred image may show synthetic glass or another treated stone
Fulgarite
Fulgurite (Lechatelierite / Vitrified Sand)
Turquoise
Turquoise, CuAl6(PO4)4(OH)8·4H2O
Pink Sapphire
Corundum (Al2O3 with trace Chromium and Iron)
Pink Granite (Alkali-feldspar Granite)
Felsic intrusive igneous rock (composition: KAlSi3O8, SiO2, NaAlSi3O8)
Lapis Lazuli
Lapis Lazuli (a rock, not a single mineral; primary mineral is Lazurite (Na,Ca)8(AlSiO4)6(S,SO4,Cl)1-2
Green faceted gemstone, likely synthetic glass or peridot
Indeterminate from image; possible peridot (olivine, (Mg,Fe)₂SiO₄) or green synthetic glass
Sandstone
Arenite (composed primarily of SiO2)
Blue Sapphire (likely costume glass imitation)
Corundum (Al2O3) with iron/titanium impurities
Faceted transparent gemstone pendant
Likely cubic zirconia (zirconium dioxide, ZrO₂); possibly diamond or synthetic moissanite
Granite
Phaneritic Felsic Igneous Rock
Granite
Granite (Felsic Plutonic Rock)
Concrete or asphalt-like aggregate surface with a dark fragment
Uncertain; likely artificial concrete containing mixed lithic aggregate, not a natural rock
Polished blue calcite sphere (tentative identification)
Calcite, CaCO₃; blue color generally results from trace impurities or inclusions
Faceted blue gemstone, likely blue topaz or synthetic spinel
Topaz (Al₂SiO₄(F,OH)₂) or synthetic spinel (MgAl₂O₄); image insufficient for certainty
Rounded quartz pebble
Quartz (silicon dioxide, SiO₂)
Polished dark gray stone, likely basalt or fine-grained andesite
Basalt/andesite; primarily plagioclase feldspar, pyroxene, and possibly olivine or magnetite
Sandstone
Arenite (siliciclastic sedimentary rock composed mostly of quartz)
Limestone
Sedimentary Rock (Primarily CaCO3)
Ruby / Red Corundum
Al2O3 (Aluminum Oxide with Chromium trace)
Beach Pebble (Chalcedony / Chert)
Silicon Dioxide (SiO2)
Chert (Flint)
Microcrystalline quartz (SiO2)
Decorative gemstone-chip jewelry (likely turquoise, coral, and assorted beads)
Predominantly turquoise, CuAl₆(PO₄)₄(OH)₈·4H₂O; other pieces appear to be dyed coral or red stone, and possibly shell/metal components
Sandstone
Arenite (SiO2 principal)
Red Jasper
Silicon Dioxide (SiO2) with Hematite (Fe2O3)
Amber (Simulated/Faturan Style)
Resin mix (Likely Phenolic/Celluloid if synthetic, Succinite if natural)
Riverstone (Sandstone Pebble)
Arenite (SiO2 with various lithic fragments)
Green faceted gemstone, likely synthetic glass or chrome-dyed stone

Lapis Lazuli
Lazurite-dominant rock, (Na,Ca)8(AlSiO4)6(SO4,S,Cl)2
Faceted brown gemstone pendant, likely smoky quartz or champagne topaz
Probably quartz (SiO₂), smoky variety; alternatively topaz (Al₂SiO₄(F,OH)₂)
Quartzite
Quartzite (Metamorphic Quartz Sandstone)
