Fossil coral
Fossilized colonial coral, likely rugose or tabulate coral preserved in limestone
Faceted Clear Gemstone (Likely Quartz or Cubic Zirconia)
Silicon Dioxide (SiO2) or Zirconium Dioxide (ZrO2)
Tumbled milky chalcedony (likely common opal or quartz-rich chalcedony)
Chalcedony, microcrystalline SiO₂; identification is uncertain from the photo
Tumbled yellow chalcedony (possibly citrine or pale agate)
Chalcedony, microcrystalline quartz (SiO₂); exact variety cannot be confirmed visually
Polished stromatolite (likely fossilized microbial mat)
Fossil stromatolite; chiefly microcrystalline quartz (SiO₂), commonly replacing carbonate
Turquoise ring
Turquoise, CuAl₆(PO₄)₄(OH)₈·4H₂O; the setting appears to be silver-colored metal
Gem-set gold ring
Likely a faceted diamond (carbon, C) set in a gold-alloy ring; the surrounding stones are not identifiable from the image.
Small clear faceted gemstone, possibly cubic zirconia
Unconfirmed; cubic zirconia (ZrO₂) is a possibility, but diamond or another colorless stone cannot be identified from this image alone
Diamond (or Cubic Zirconia)
Carbon (C) or Zirconium Dioxide (ZrO2)
Dark green cabochon gemstone ring
Unknown; possibly green onyx (cryptocrystalline quartz, SiO₂) or another green gem
Goldstone (aventurine glass)
Man-made copper-bearing glass; not a natural mineral (commonly sold as blue/brown goldstone)
Painted Rock / Geode Specimen
Silicon Dioxide with artificial pigment coating
Possible yellow agate or chalcedony bead
Microcrystalline quartz (SiO₂), likely chalcedony; identification is uncertain from the photo
Red agate bead (likely dyed or treated)
Agate, a microcrystalline variety of quartz; SiO₂
Faceted transparent gemstone, likely glass or cubic zirconia
Uncertain from image; possible cubic zirconia (zirconium dioxide, ZrO₂) or glass imitation
Cubic Zirconia (as a jewelry specimen)
Zirconium dioxide (ZrO2)
Tumbled chalcedony pendant (likely agate)
Chalcedony, microcrystalline quartz (SiO₂); the pale bands suggest agate
Dyed Crackle Quartz
Silicon Dioxide (SiO2) with synthetic dye
Red gemstone ring (likely synthetic ruby or red glass)
Possibly corundum (Al₂O₃), chromium-colored; identity cannot be confirmed from the image
Red jasper (likely)
Jasper, an opaque microcrystalline variety of quartz (SiO₂), colored red by iron oxides
Goldstone
N/A (Synthetic Glass with Copper Inclusions)
Diamond (or Diamond Simulant)
Carbon (C) or Zirconium dioxide (ZrO2) for CZ
Chert (likely flint)
Microcrystalline quartz, SiO₂
Black tourmaline (likely schorl)
Schorl, NaFe3Al6(BO3)3Si6O18(OH)4
Dyed Dragon Vein Agate
Silicon Dioxide (SiO2) with artificial pigment
Diamond (or Diamond Simulant)
Carbon (C)
Diamond (or Diamond Simulant)
Carbon (C) - Native Element
Black onyx bead necklace
Black chalcedony, a microcrystalline quartz variety (SiO₂); beads may be dyed or treated
Diamond (or Cubic Zirconia / Rhinestones)
Carbon (C) or Zirconium dioxide (ZrO2)
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
