Asphalt fragment
Bituminous concrete
Digital Multimeter (Synthetic Object)
Digital Multimeter (DMM)
Small rounded stone, likely quartz-rich granite or granitic rock
Probable granitoid fragment; mainly quartz (SiO₂) and feldspar, with minor dark mica/amphibole
Quartzite
Metamorphic Quartzite (SiO2)
Multi-stone gemstone ring
Likely faceted blue topaz or synthetic blue stone with clear stones, possibly cubic zirconia or diamond; metal setting appears silver-colored alloy
Crackle Glass (Simulated Gemstone)
Amorphous Solid (SiO2)
Rhinestone
Artificial Glass/Crystal
Note: The image provided is a fabric sock, not a geological specimen.
Polyester-Cotton Blend with Elastane
Red jasper cabochon pendant
Jasper—opaque microcrystalline quartz/chalcedony, primarily SiO₂, colored red by iron oxides
Tumbled yellow-green chalcedony or serpentine
Microcrystalline quartz (SiO₂), possibly chrysoprase; alternative: serpentine-group mineral
Likely blue glass or synthetic gemstone jewelry
Uncertain; possibly synthetic spinel, cubic zirconia, or blue glass
Possibly tumbled dark stone or mineral specimen
Indeterminate from image; possibly black tourmaline, basalt, or another dark silicate
Colorless faceted gemstone (most likely synthetic cubic zirconia)
Cubic zirconia, ZrO₂ (likely synthetic); natural alternatives include quartz or diamond
Polished black stone, possibly basalt or black jasper
Basalt (fine-grained mafic rock) or microcrystalline quartz if jasper
Beaded bracelet with black and white stone beads
The white beads may be howlite (Ca₂B₅SiO₉(OH)₅); the glossy black beads cannot be identified confidently from the image and may be obsidian, onyx, or another material.
Weathered sandstone or iron-rich sedimentary rock fragments
Quartz-rich sandstone, locally ferruginous; exact identification requires testing
Swirled Agate Bead
Silicon Dioxide (SiO2)
Opalite (Man-made Glass)
Synthetic Silicon Dioxide Glass (SiO2 + metal oxides)
Opaline Glass (Opalite)
Synthetic Silicon Dioxide Glass
White tumbled stone (possibly milky quartz)
Likely quartz, SiO₂; exact identification is uncertain from the image
Blue Obsidian
Obsidian
Sea Glass
Silica (SiO2) - Amorphous
Sea Glass
Amorphous silicon dioxide (glass)
Gemstone stud earrings, likely set with clear stones
The stones may be diamond (carbon, C) or colorless cubic zirconia (ZrO₂); the image is insufficient to distinguish them.
Mixed small mineral specimens, likely quartz varieties
Uncertain from the image; translucent pieces may be quartz (SiO₂), while golden-brown pieces could be iron-stained quartz or calcite
Borosilicate Glass (Manufactured)
SiO2 + B2O3 (Silicon dioxide and Boron trioxide)
Tumbled yellow-brown quartzite or jasper
Quartzite, predominantly microcrystalline quartz (SiO₂), possibly iron-stained jasper
Vesicular volcanic rock, likely pumice
Pumice (highly vesicular volcanic glass; composition commonly rhyolitic to andesitic)
Possible flint/chert fragment
Microcrystalline quartz (SiO₂), likely chert or flint
Glazed Ceramic Tile
Fused Silicate-Clay composite
Spherical sandstone concretion
Sandstone concretion, commonly quartz-rich arenite cemented by calcite, silica, or iron oxides
Portable Ceramic Space Heater
Polished Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene (ABS) Plastic with Ceramic Heating Elements
Cut diamond-like gemstone
Likely cubic zirconia (zirconium dioxide, ZrO₂) or glass; natural diamond (carbon, C) cannot be confirmed from an image
Travertine (Ceramic Tile)
Terrestrial Sedimentary Rock / Calcium Carbonate (CaCO3)
Tumbled white stone beads, likely marble or quartz
Undetermined; possibly marble (recrystallized calcite, CaCO₃) or milky quartz (SiO₂)
Tumbled black stone, likely black obsidian
Obsidian — natural volcanic glass, predominantly silica-rich rhyolitic composition
Black tumbled stone, likely basalt or black jasper
Most consistent with fine-grained basalt (mainly plagioclase and pyroxene); exact identification requires testing
Brick fragment (Man-made material)
N/A (Fired clay)
Polished hematite
Hematite (Fe₂O₃), likely a tumbled specimen
Faceted clear gemstone (likely glass imitation or quartz)
Uncertain; appearance is consistent with colorless quartz (SiO₂), but the strong uniform brilliance may indicate cut glass or cubic zirconia
Faceted colorless gemstone, likely cubic zirconia or diamond
Most likely synthetic cubic zirconia (ZrO₂); diamond (C) is a less certain alternative
Weathered sandstone or iron-stained sedimentary stone
Quartz-rich sandstone, commonly arkose or lithic sandstone; composition cannot be confirmed visually
