Silver (Native Silver/Alloy Specimen)
Ag (Native Silver element), specifically a 90% Ag / 10% Cu alloy
Possible iron meteorite fragment
Iron meteorite, likely kamacite–taenite alloy
South Korean 100 Won Coin (Cupronickel)
Cupronickel Alloy (75% Cu, 25% Ni)
Strawberry Quartz
Silicon Dioxide (SiO2) with Hematite/Goethite inclusions
Faceted pink gemstone beads (possibly tourmaline)
Unidentified pink gem material; appearance may be consistent with pink tourmaline (elbaite), but the image is insufficient for confirmation
Opalite
Synthetic Glass (Hydrated Crystalline Silicon Dioxide simulation)
Pyrite
Iron Sulfide (FeS2)
Sea Glass (Teal/Turquoise)
Amorphous Silica (SiO2) with trace metal oxides
Likely metallic meteorite fragment
Undetermined; possibly an iron meteorite or stony-iron meteorite
Sea Glass (White/Clear)
Amorphous Silica (Alkali-Lime-Silica Glass), SiO2 + Na2O + CaO
Diamond
Carbon (C)
Sea Glass
Amorphous silicon dioxide (Man-made glass weathered by nature)
Goldstone (Brown/Gold variety)
Aventurine Glass (SiO2 with Copper inclusions)
Native copper-rich iron meteorite (likely Canyon Diablo/meteorite-like specimen)
Iron–nickel alloy, chiefly kamacite and taenite (Fe-Ni), with oxidized copper/iron sulfide inclusions
Iron-rich meteorite candidate
Undetermined; possible stony-iron or iron meteorite, commonly kamacite–taenite alloy
Sea Glass (Turquoise/Aqua)
Amorphous Silica (SiO2) with transition metal dopants
Opalite
Synthetic Opalite Glass (Silicon Dioxide)
Man-made Synthetic Material (Not a rock or mineral)
Polyester (Polyethylene terephthalate) / Faux Fur
Man-made Synthetic Material (Costume Faux Fur)
Synthetic Polymer (Polyester/Acrylic)
Green Aura Quartz
Silicon Dioxide (SiO2) bonded with metallic vapors (typically Gold, Chromium, or Titanium)
Turquoise-colored bead on a metal earring
Unidentified blue-green bead; possibly turquoise (CuAl₆(PO₄)₄(OH)₈·4H₂O), but the image cannot confirm its material
Aura Quartz
Titanium/Titanium-Gold treated Silicon Dioxide (SiO2)
Pink Tumbled Quartz (Dyed)
Silicon Dioxide (SiO2)
Sea Glass
Amorphous Silicon Dioxide (Man-made glass weathered by nature)
Small clear crystal, possibly quartz or glass-like gemstone
Uncertain; likely quartz (SiO₂), but the image is insufficient to exclude man-made glass or cubic zirconia
Diamond (Cluster Ring)
Carbon (C)
Likely iron meteorite or meteorite fragment
Unclassified meteoritic iron–nickel alloy, possibly an iron meteorite
Likely native copper
Native copper (Cu)
Opalite
Synthetic Opalized Glass
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 gemstone tower assortment
Primarily quartz varieties and simulants; apparent amethyst (SiO₂), rose quartz (SiO₂), clear quartz (SiO₂), fluorite (CaF₂), sodalite, malachite, and possibly dyed or composite stones
Ruby-set gold ring
Ruby (corundum), Al₂O₃ colored red by chromium; mounted in a gold alloy
Red cabochon gemstone ring
The stone may be carnelian (orange-red chalcedony, SiO₂); the image is insufficient to identify it reliably.
Copper
Native Copper (Cu)
Likely native silver
Native silver (Ag); identification is provisional from the photo
Sandstone Concretion
Siliciclastic Concretion
Sandstone Concretion
Clastic Sedimentary Concretion (SiO2 with Iron Oxide)
Native copper nugget
Copper (Cu), often with cuprite or copper-oxide surface
Goldstone (Red)
Aventurine Glass
Beaded mineral/crystal jewelry (likely turquoise and coral accents)
Variable; blue beads may be turquoise (CuAl6(PO4)4(OH)8·4H2O), with possible dyed howlite, glass, or composite materials
Red gemstone ring; likely synthetic ruby or red glass
Undetermined from the image; ruby is corundum (Al₂O₃), while red glass is amorphous silicate
Blue goldstone beads
Man-made aventurine glass (silica glass with metallic copper inclusions), not natural lapis lazuli
