Unidentified colorless gemstone; diamond (C) or sapphire (Al₂O₃) cannot be distinguished from the image
Glass
Amorphous Silicon Dioxide (SiO2)
Clear-stone silver-tone teardrop earring
The stones may be colorless quartz or glass; the image does not allow reliable identification. Metal setting appears silver-tone.
