Diamond-set gold ring
Diamond (crystalline carbon, C); mounted in a gold alloy setting
Likely faceted colorless gemstone
Probable quartz (rock crystal), SiO₂; diamond or topaz cannot be excluded from the photograph
White chalcedony cabochon ring
Chalcedony (microcrystalline quartz, SiO₂), likely white quartz variety
Pearl
Calcium Carbonate (Aragonite/Calcite) with Conchiolin, CaCO3
Green gemstone in a jewelry setting (possibly emerald or green glass)
Not identifiable from the image; if natural emerald, beryl (Be₃Al₂Si₆O₁₈)
Carved stone bowl or mortar
Uncertain; likely steatite (soapstone) or fine-grained volcanic stone
Likely fossilized shell or carbonate concretion
Indeterminate biogenic calcium carbonate, commonly calcite (CaCO₃)
Tumbled hematite (speculative identification)
Hematite, α-Fe₂O₃
Quartz pebble in concrete
Quartz (SiO₂), embedded in Portland-cement concrete
Blue-green opal, likely polished common or synthetic opal
Opal (hydrated amorphous silica, SiO₂·nH₂O); identification from the image is uncertain

Goldstone (Brown)
Aventurine glass
Small polished metallic mineral specimen
Indeterminate from image; possibly galena or hematite
Chert (possibly a worked stone flake)
Microcrystalline quartz, SiO₂
Cut colorless gemstone, likely quartz or glass imitation
Most plausibly rock crystal (clear quartz, SiO₂); synthetic glass cannot be ruled out from the image
Blue slag glass / industrial smelter slag
Man-made iron-rich silicate slag; composition variable, commonly Fe–Ca–Mg–Al silicates with glassy phases
Tumbled/cut citrine quartz point
Quartz, silicon dioxide (SiO₂), likely heat-treated amethyst sold as citrine
Sea Glass (Frosted Glass)
Amorphous Silica (SiO2) with various metal oxide impurities
Small polished, multicolored stone; exact identification is not possible from the image
Undetermined; it may be a naturally patterned stone such as jasper, but the visible colors alone are insufficient for identification
Tumbled orange chalcedony or quartzite
Microcrystalline quartz (SiO₂), possibly iron-stained chalcedony; exact identification requires testing
Ammonite fossil
Fossilized ammonoid cephalopod; likely an involute ammonite, exact genus/species indeterminate
Polished agate/geode fragment
Chalcedony (microcrystalline quartz, SiO₂) with quartz and probable iron/manganese oxides
