Concrete Fragment
Artificial Conglomerate (Cement and Aggregate)
Obsidian
Volcanic Glass
Blue Obsidian
Volcanic Glass (Amorphous)
Cut purple gemstone, likely synthetic cubic zirconia or glass
Undetermined; possible cubic zirconia (ZrO₂)
Blue Goldstone
Man-made glass infused with copper crystals
Diamond (or Diamond Simulant)
Carbon (C)
Blue opalescent glass-like gemstone (possibly imitation opalite)
Likely man-made opalite glass; composition varies, typically silica-based glass
Polished white chalcedony or quartz pendant
Microcrystalline quartz (chalcedony), SiO₂; exact identification is uncertain from the image
Sea Glass
Silicon dioxide (mostly)
Blue crystal pendant (likely blue glass or synthetic crystal)
Not identifiable from the image; possibly synthetic quartz or glass, rather than a natural mineral
Possible obsidian or slag glass
Volcanic glass, primarily SiO₂; alternatively industrial iron-rich glassy slag
Polished milky quartz (likely quartz worry stone or wand)
Quartz, silicon dioxide (SiO₂)
Polished black pebble, possibly obsidian
Volcanic glass (obsidian), likely; identification is tentative from the image
Polished labradorite sphere
Labradorite, calcic plagioclase feldspar ((Ca,Na)(Al,Si)₄O₈)
Metal Chain (Likely Steel or a Steel Alloy)
Steel (primarily iron and carbon); specific alloy unknown
Gemstone ring (stones not reliably identifiable from the image)
Likely faceted yellow stones and clear stones set in a metal band; species and treatments are indeterminate visually
Quartz pebble (Quartztite fragment)
Silicon Dioxide (SiO2)
Small black stone fragment (possibly obsidian)
Unidentified dark rock; obsidian is volcanic glass (composition typically rhyolitic)
Obsidian
Volcanic Glass
Red-orange cabochon, likely carnelian or glass imitation
Carnelian: chalcedony (microcrystalline SiO₂), commonly iron-colored
Chipped Glass/Plastic Fragment
Silicon dioxide (SiO2) for glass (amorphous) or various polymer compounds for plastic
Sea Glass
Amorphous Silicon Dioxide (Man-made glass weathered by nature)
Stainless Steel (Polished)
Ferrous Alloy containing Iron (Fe), Chromium (Cr), and Carbon (C)
Faceted colorless gemstone, likely cubic zirconia or quartz
Uncertain from photograph; cubic zirconia (ZrO₂) is the leading visual possibility, with quartz (SiO₂) as an alternative
Black glassy fragment, likely obsidian or industrial glass
Volcanic glass (obsidian), chiefly amorphous SiO₂; identification uncertain from image
Diamond ring (likely a faceted clear gemstone)
Diamond, crystalline carbon (C); the setting appears to be gold-colored metal
Cobalt Blue Glass / Cullet Glass
Silicon dioxide (Amorphous man-made glass)
Faceted colorless gemstone, likely quartz or glass imitation
Most likely quartz (SiO₂), though the strong glare and visible facet pattern could indicate cubic zirconia or lead glass
Chert (Arrowheads)
Microcrystalline Quartz (SiO2)
Green sea glass (likely bottle glass)
Man-made soda-lime silicate glass; not a natural mineral
Black tumbled stone, possibly obsidian
Obsidian (volcanic glass; predominantly SiO₂), identification uncertain from image
Granite (with a dark inclusion or attached fragment)
Granite, mainly quartz, feldspar, and mica; the dark object cannot be identified confidently from the photo.
Polished black stone, likely obsidian
Obsidian (volcanic glass; mostly silica-rich rhyolitic composition)
Goldstone
Man-made glass with copper inclusions
Likely turquoise-colored mineral or dyed stone
Unidentified opaque blue-green material; turquoise, chrysocolla, dyed howlite, or glass cannot be distinguished from the image alone
Jade bangle
Likely nephrite jade (actinolite–tremolite amphibole); possibly jadeite
Orgonite Pyramid (containing Amethyst and mixed minerals)
Silicon Dioxide (SiO2) in synthetic resin
Sandstone Concretion
Sedimentary Concretion (Quartz-cemented sand)
Exposed Aggregate Concrete (Pea Gravel)
Concrete with Siliceous Alluvial Gravels
Concrete Fragment
Hardened Portland cement and mineral aggregate
Opalite Egg
Synthetic Glass (Simulated Opal)
Asphalt Concrete
Bituminous conglomerate
