Indeterminate; likely small polished mineral beads, possibly turquoise or dyed stone, with metal and glass components
Land Snail Shell
Gastropoda (Calcium Carbonate, CaCO3)
Polished blue gemstone bead bracelet, likely aquamarine
Aquamarine, blue variety of beryl (Be₃Al₂Si₆O₁₈); identification from the image is uncertain
Possible yellow agate or chalcedony bead
Microcrystalline quartz (SiO₂), likely chalcedony; identification is uncertain from the photo
Polished stone sphere, possibly agate or jasper
Likely microcrystalline quartz (SiO₂); exact variety cannot be confirmed from the image
Rhodonite
Rhodonite, (Mn,Fe,Mg,Ca)SiO₃
Tumbled orange-and-white feldspar-rich stone, likely sunstone or orange feldspar
Likely potassium feldspar (orthoclase or microcline), KAlSi₃O₈; exact identification is uncertain from the image
Polished black stone sphere, likely obsidian
Obsidian — naturally occurring volcanic glass, chiefly silica-rich rhyolitic glass
Quartzite
Metamorphic Quartz Rock (SiO2)
Black Tourmaline
Schorl (NaFe2+3Al6(Si6O18)(BO3)3(OH)4)
Likely sandstone pebble
Quartz-rich sandstone (composition uncertain from the image)
Tumbled quartzite pebble (likely)
Quartz-rich quartzite; mainly SiO₂
Likely flint (dark chert)
Microcrystalline quartz (SiO₂), commonly called chert or flint
Diamond
Carbon (C)
Rutilated Quartz
Silicon Dioxide (SiO2) with Titanium Dioxide (TiO2) inclusions

Tumbled chert or jasper pebble
Microcrystalline quartz (SiO₂), likely chert/jasper
Polished greenstone/serpentine pebble (probable)
Serpentinite, dominated by serpentine-group minerals (lizardite/chrysotile); possible accessory olivine or chlorite
Polished banded jasper (likely red jasper)
Microcrystalline quartz/chalcedony, SiO₂, colored by iron oxides; exact variety uncertain
Likely green bottle glass, not a geological specimen
Manufactured soda-lime silicate glass
Faceted colored gemstones, likely synthetic corundum or glass imitations
Not identifiable from the image; possible synthetic corundum (Al₂O₃)
Red cabochon gemstone ring (likely ruby or red spinel; identity unconfirmed)
Possibly corundum (ruby, Al₂O₃) or spinel (MgAl₂O₄); visual identification alone cannot distinguish these from glass or synthetic stones.
Sandstone (Water-worn Cobble)
Arenite (SiO2 with CaCO3 or Fe2O3 cement)
Carved yellow stone butterfly
Undetermined; possibly carved soapstone (talc-rich rock) or another soft ornamental stone
Dark gray water-worn pebble
Likely basalt or another fine-grained mafic rock; exact identification is not possible from the image alone
