Celestite (Celestine)

Strontium sulfate (SrSO4)

Blue Obsidian

Volcanic Glass (Silica, SiO2)

Polished blue calcite sphere (tentative identification)

Calcite, CaCO₃; blue color generally results from trace impurities or inclusions

Pearl: nacre, primarily aragonite (CaCO₃) with conchiolin

Celestite (Celestine)

Strontium sulfate (SrSO4)

Blue slag glass or dyed glass-like industrial material

Amorphous silicate glass; likely copper-bearing blue slag, but possibly colored man-made glass

Native Copper

Native Copper (Cu)

Blue-stone and diamond ring

Blue stone is possibly blue sapphire (corundum, Al₂O₃); surrounding stones appear to be diamonds (carbon, C).
