Titanium Aura Quartz (Aura Quartz)
Titanium-coated Silicon Dioxide (SiO2)
Terrazzo (with Marble and Granite fragments)
Cementitious or resinous composite containing Calcium Carbonate (CaCO3) and Silicates
Green glassy mineral specimen, likely rough emerald or green fluorite
Tentatively beryl (Be₃Al₂Si₆O₁₈), emerald variety; synthetic/man-made glass cannot be excluded from the photograph
Blue glassy tumbled stone, likely blue chalcedony or slag glass
Chalcedony (microcrystalline SiO₂), possibly man-made blue glass
Iron Meteorite
Siderite (Iron-Nickel alloy)
Green aventurine pendant
Quartz variety, SiO₂, colored mainly by fuchsite or other chromium-bearing mica inclusions
Turquoise cabochon
Turquoise — hydrated copper aluminum phosphate, CuAl₆(PO₄)₄(OH)₈·4H₂O
Cullet Glass (sometimes mistaken for Blue Obsidian or Slag)
Amorphous Silicon Dioxide (SiO2) with chemical additives (e.g., Cobalt for blue color)
Granite with Cupules / Bedrock Mortars
Granite (felsic intrusive plutonic rock)
Carved Stone Turtle
Carved Soapstone and Quartz
Polished orange chalcedony pendant
Chalcedony, microcrystalline quartz (SiO₂), likely orange carnelian or orange agate
Bismuth crystal
Bismuth (Bi), synthetic laboratory-grown crystal
Copper (native copper)
Native copper, Cu
Peridot (Olivine)
Olivine ((Mg, Fe)2SiO4)
Raw pale-green beryl (likely aquamarine)
Beryl, Be₃Al₂Si₆O₁₈; blue-green variety is aquamarine
Blue-green cabochon pendant, likely turquoise or composite turquoise
Turquoise: hydrated copper aluminum phosphate, CuAl₆(PO₄)₄(OH)₈·4H₂O; exact identification is uncertain from the blurred image
Gemstone rings (stones not reliably identifiable)
The pale stone may be quartz or another translucent gem; the red stone may be ruby, garnet, or synthetic corundum. Image detail is insufficient for identification.
Likely iron-rich meteorite or hematite-rich rock
Uncertain; possible iron meteorite (Fe–Ni alloy) or limonite/goethite-bearing hematite
Turquoise cabochon ring
Turquoise, hydrated copper–aluminum phosphate: CuAl₆(PO₄)₄(OH)₈·4H₂O
Celestite (Celestine)
Strontium sulfate (SrSO4)
Moss Agate
Chalcedony (SiO2) with inclusions of manganese or iron oxides
Ruby (set in a ring; possibly synthetic or imitation)
Corundum, Al₂O₃; red color is typically caused by chromium
Titanium Quartz (Aura Quartz)
Silicon Dioxide (SiO2) treated with Titanium
Synthetic Blue Aura Quartz
Silicon Dioxide (SiO2) with Metallic Infusion
Aura Quartz Bead
Silicon dioxide (SiO2) with metal coating
Turquoise jewelry beads/earrings
Turquoise, hydrated copper–aluminum phosphate: CuAl₆(PO₄)₄(OH)₈·4H₂O; possibly reconstructed or imitation turquoise
Industrial slag (iron/copper smelting slag)
Multiphase vitreous metallurgical slag; commonly iron-silicate glass with metal-oxide and metallic inclusions
Blue Goldstone
Aventurine Glass (SiO2 with Cobalt/Copper inclusions)
Quartzite
Quartzite
Gemstone ring with dark blue cabochons
Likely blue sapphire (corundum, Al₂O₃); the stones cannot be identified confidently from the image
Red gemstone ring, possibly synthetic ruby or red glass
Unidentified red stone; ruby is corundum (Al₂O₃), but the image cannot confirm its identity
Terracotta (Man-made ceramic brick fragment)
Baked clay / High-iron ceramic (Silicate-based ceramic)
Dyed green agate pendant
Microcrystalline quartz (chalcedony), SiO₂; likely dyed agate
Cobalt Glass Slug (Man-made Glass)
Amorphous Silica with Cobalt Oxide (SiO2 + CoO)
Faceted yellow-brown gemstone ring
Likely citrine (quartz, SiO₂); the image alone cannot confirm the stone or any treatments.
Slag (Industrial Glass)
Artificial Vitreous Silicate
Cabochon gemstone ring, likely smoky quartz or tourmaline
Unconfirmed quartz (SiO₂) or brown tourmaline (dravite); visual identification is inconclusive
Diamond
Native Carbon (C)
Red cabochon gemstone ring, likely synthetic ruby or red glass
Possibly corundum (Al₂O₃, chromium-colored); identity cannot be confirmed from the image
Turquoise inlay ring
Turquoise, CuAl₆(PO₄)₄(OH)₈·4H₂O
Vesicular basalt (scoria-like volcanic rock)
Vesicular basalt; predominantly plagioclase, pyroxene, and volcanic glass, with possible iron oxides
Likely smoky quartz cabochon ring
Quartz, silicon dioxide (SiO₂), probably smoky quartz; visual identification is uncertain because the stone is mounted and reflective
