Inlaid turquoise and red-stone earrings
Likely turquoise (CuAl₆(PO₄)₄(OH)₈·4H₂O) with an unidentified red inlay; the image does not establish the materials
Man-made Jewelry Charm (Enameled Metal)
Not a natural mineral; composed of base metal alloy (likely zinc or brass) and epoxy resin/enamel.
Possible weathered basalt or slag fragment
Basalt, chiefly plagioclase and pyroxene; identification is uncertain from the image
Likely polished quartz or glass-like mineral cabochon
