Green glass cabochon or tumbled stone
Indeterminate; likely man-made glass, possibly aventurine glass rather than a natural mineral
Polished blue-green glassy slag or coated mineral fragment
Most likely man-made colored glass/slag; exact composition cannot be determined visually
Blue goldstone beads
Man-made aventurine glass (silica glass with metallic copper inclusions), not natural lapis lazuli
Tumbled sea glass or pale-green quartz pebble
Indeterminate from image; possibly quartz (SiO₂), but the smooth translucent piece may be man-made glass
Colorless faceted gemstone, likely glass or cubic zirconia
Uncertain; possible cubic zirconia (ZrO₂) or quartz (SiO₂), but the image may show a man-made simulant
Colorless faceted quartz-like gemstone
Likely quartz (SiO₂), though the appearance may also indicate man-made glass or cubic zirconia
Metal Chain (Likely Steel or a Steel Alloy)
Steel (primarily iron and carbon); specific alloy unknown
Blue slag glass or dyed glass-like industrial material
Amorphous silicate glass; likely copper-bearing blue slag, but possibly colored man-made glass
Fired Clay Brick (Anthropic Rock substitute)
Anthropogenic polycrystalline ceramic (predominantly Mullite and Quartz: Al6Si2O13 + SiO2)
Nickel coin (U.S. currency)
Cupronickel (75% Copper, 25% Nickel alloy)
Polished blue calcite sphere (tentative identification)
Calcite, CaCO₃; blue color generally results from trace impurities or inclusions
Tumbled aqua glassy mineral specimen, likely chrysocolla or turquoise imitation
Uncertain from image; possible chrysocolla (hydrated copper aluminosilicate, variable composition) or dyed/man-made glass
Blue tumbled glass-like specimen; likely blue slag glass
Likely man-made glass (silicate glass), not a natural mineral; exact material cannot be confirmed from the image
