Small dark rock fragment
Uncertain; possibly weathered basalt or slag
Cullet Glass (Industrial Slag Glass)
Amorphous Silica (SiO2) with metallic oxide impurities
Diamond (in a jewelry setting)
Carbon (C)
Smoky Quartz
Silicon Dioxide (SiO2) with trace aluminum and irradiation
Smoky Quartz
Silicon Dioxide (SiO2) with aluminum impurities
Sandstone
Clastic Sedimentary Rock
Faceted colorless gemstone, likely quartz or glass imitation
Most likely quartz (SiO₂), though the strong glare and visible facet pattern could indicate cubic zirconia or lead glass
Possible basalt or industrial iron-rich slag
Basalt (plagioclase–pyroxene rock); identification uncertain from image
Dyed Blue Agate Slice
Silicon Dioxide (SiO2)
Tumbled chalcedony pendant (likely agate)
Chalcedony, microcrystalline quartz (SiO₂); the pale bands suggest agate
Decorative gemstone bracelet or jewelry
Unidentifiable from the blurred image; likely colored glass or synthetic stones, possibly mixed gemstone beads
Banded Chert / Chalcedony
Silicon Dioxide (SiO2)
Red cabochon gemstone ring (likely ruby or red spinel; identity unconfirmed)
Possibly corundum (ruby, Al₂O₃) or spinel (MgAl₂O₄); visual identification alone cannot distinguish these from glass or synthetic stones.
Dyed Quartz Cube
Silicon Dioxide (SiO2)
Quartz (Smoky Quartz variant)
Silicon Dioxide (SiO2)
Faceted brown gemstone pendant, likely smoky quartz or champagne topaz
Probably quartz (SiO₂), smoky variety; alternatively topaz (Al₂SiO₄(F,OH)₂)
Faceted colored gemstones, likely synthetic corundum or glass imitations
Not identifiable from the image; possible synthetic corundum (Al₂O₃)
Synthetic Resin (Artificial Specimen)
Polyurethane or Polyester Resin
Sandstone
Clastic Sedimentary Rock
Blue Chalcedony Cube
Silicon Dioxide (SiO2)
Diamond (or Diamond Simulant)
Carbon (C) or Cubic Zirconia (ZrO2)
Small water-worn pebble, likely granite or granitic rock
Granite (tentative; exact identification is uncertain from the photo)
Corundum (Ruby variety)
Aluminium oxide (Al2O3)
Probable amber fragment
Amber (fossilized plant resin; chiefly amorphous organic resin, commonly dominated by succinite)
Tumbled purple chalcedony or low-grade amethyst bead bracelet
Chalcedony (microcrystalline SiO₂), possibly quartz/amethyst; composition is SiO₂
Dyed turquoise-colored lava stone beads
Vesicular basalt (scoria), commonly sold as dyed lava rock
Asphalt (Bituminous Concrete)
Bituminous mix / Anthropogenic conglomerate
Tumbled black stone, likely black obsidian
Obsidian; volcanic glass, typically rhyolitic composition (SiO₂-rich)
Pink Granite
Phaneritic Felsic Igneous Rock (Granite)
Sandstone
Sedimentary Rock (Quartz Sandstone)
Jasper Marble
Silicon Dioxide (SiO2) with Impurities
Turquoise cabochon ring
Turquoise — hydrated copper aluminum phosphate, CuAl₆(PO₄)₄(OH)₈·4H₂O
Blue Goldstone
Aventurine Glass (Silicon Dioxide infused with Cobalt/Copper)
Obsidian (volcanic glass)
Obsidian, naturally occurring rhyolitic volcanic glass; composition is silica-rich, commonly about 70–75% SiO₂
Polished black obsidian
Volcanic glass; primarily rhyolitic SiO₂, with minor iron, magnesium, and other trace elements
Sandstone
Sedimentary Clastic Rock (Quartz Arenite)
Dark, weathered stone—possibly basalt or slag
Indeterminate; likely fine-grained basalt (plagioclase–pyroxene)
Diamond in Kimberlite
Diamond (C in Kimberlite)
Diamond (as set in a gold ring)
Carbon (C)
Green obsidian (likely moldavite)
Natural volcanic glass; if extraterrestrial-impact glass, moldavite (tektite)
Likely gold-colored metal ring with a possible gemstone
Uncertain; possibly gold alloy (Au) with a small quartz or glass-like setting
Ceramic or Polished Stone Heart (Anthropogenic Material)
Glazed Ceramic (Silicon Dioxide based coating on Alumina Silicate body) or Polished Limestone/Marble (Calcium Carbonate, CaCO3)
