Dyed Dragon Vein Agate
Silicon Dioxide (SiO2) with artificial pigment
Black tourmaline (likely schorl)
Schorl, NaFe3Al6(BO3)3Si6O18(OH)4
Black onyx bead necklace
Black chalcedony, a microcrystalline quartz variety (SiO₂); beads may be dyed or treated
Green jasper (possibly dyed or coated)
Microcrystalline quartz, SiO₂; jasper is an opaque variety of chalcedony
Goldstone (with Tiger's Eye and Quartz)
Aventurine glass (Synthetic SiO2 with Cu inclusions)
Man-made Carved Stone (Scream Mask/Skull motif)
Carved Soapstone or Serpentine-rich rock
Blue Impression Jasper beads
Impression jasper (microcrystalline quartz/chalcedony), chiefly SiO₂, with iron-oxide and other mineral inclusions
Quartz geode with druzy crystals
Quartz (SiO₂), likely with iron-oxide staining and darker host rock
Unidentified Small Rock
Unknown
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)
Blue Sapphire (Synthetic or Man-made Glass Imitation)
Corundum (Al2O3) if natural; Lead-glass or Spinal if synthetic
Terracotta (Man-made ceramic brick fragment)
Baked clay / High-iron ceramic (Silicate-based ceramic)
Chert (Arrowhead/Artifact Fragment)
Microcrystalline or Cryptocrystalline Quartz (SiO2)
Polished brown stone, likely smoky quartz or jasper
Tentatively quartz (SiO₂), possibly smoky quartz; exact identification requires testing
Blue goldstone
Man-made aventurine glass containing metallic copper particles; not a natural mineral
Red jasper
Jasper, an opaque microcrystalline variety of quartz (SiO₂), colored chiefly by iron oxides
Red jasper pebble
Jasper, an opaque, iron-oxide-colored variety of microcrystalline quartz (SiO₂)
Possible sea glass (naturally frosted glass), not a confirmed geological specimen
Man-made silicate glass; composition varies, commonly soda-lime glass
Blue glassy mineral specimen, possibly dyed or synthetic
Uncertain; possible blue fluorite (CaF₂), dyed chalcedony, or man-made glass
Goldstone (aventurine glass)
Synthetic copper-bearing soda-lime glass; commonly sold as red goldstone
Polished blue gemstone bead bracelet, likely aquamarine
Aquamarine, blue variety of beryl (Be₃Al₂Si₆O₁₈); identification from the image is uncertain
Small weathered mineral/rock fragment
Indeterminate; possibly quartz-bearing feldspathic rock or calcite-rich specimen
Black stone-bead bracelet, likely black onyx or agate
Probably chalcedony, microcrystalline quartz (SiO₂); the photo alone cannot confirm the bead material
Dyed Quartz Geode
Silicon Dioxide (SiO2) with artificial pigment
Black beaded bracelet, likely black onyx or glass
Possibly chalcedony (microcrystalline quartz, SiO₂); the beads may instead be man-made glass
