Synthetic Zinc/Polycarbonate Composite (Bey-specimen)
Zinc Alloy (Zamak 3) with Polycarbonate (C15H16O2)n Overlay
Synthetic Wolf Plush (Non-mineral)
Canis lupus similis (Prop material: Polyester & Synthetic fibers)
Goldstone
Aventurine Glass (Man-made glass with copper inclusions)
Limestone with Calcite Crystals
Sedimentary Rock containing Calcium Carbonate (CaCO3)
Likely vesicular basalt (scoria)
Basaltic scoria; chiefly plagioclase, pyroxene, and olivine with volcanic glass
Ring with an Orange Inlay
N/A (Man-made object)
Blue goldstone
Man-made aventurine glass containing metallic copper particles; not a natural mineral
Black onyx or black obsidian bead bracelet
Likely black chalcedony (microcrystalline quartz, SiO₂); possibly volcanic glass (obsidian, SiO₂)
Black obsidian (probable)
Volcanic glass; primarily SiO₂-rich rhyolitic composition
Opalite
Synthetic glass (SiO2 + metal additions)
Carved limestone architectural fragment
Limestone, predominantly calcite (CaCO₃), possibly weathered fossiliferous or oolitic limestone
Faceted purple-blue beads, likely synthetic glass or treated gemstone
Indeterminate; possible synthetic corundum, synthetic spinel, or dyed quartz (SiO₂)
Tumbled black stone, likely obsidian
Obsidian (natural volcanic glass; mainly silica-rich rhyolitic composition)
Tumbled opalite (likely synthetic glass)
Opalite; typically man-made opalescent soda-lime glass, not a recognized mineral species
Small pale mineral/rock fragment
Indeterminate; possibly weathered quartz, calcite, or light-colored limestone
Synthetic Marbled Aggregate (Footwear Component)
Ethylene-vinyl acetate (Croslite™)
Opalite crescent pendant
Opalite (man-made opalescent glass; not a natural mineral)
Clear quartz sphere or polished quartz cabochon (tentative)
Quartz, silicon dioxide (SiO₂); appearance may also be consistent with ordinary glass, which cannot be ruled out from the image alone
Black obsidian (possibly industrial glass or slag)
Volcanic glass; predominantly rhyolitic composition, chiefly SiO₂
Fossiliferous limestone
Bioclastic calcarenite; predominantly calcite (CaCO₃)
Polished black stone, possibly basalt or black obsidian
Likely fine-grained basalt (plagioclase and pyroxene) or volcanic glass (obsidian; rhyolitic composition)
Polished fossil-bearing shale or mudstone
Fossiliferous carbonaceous mudstone/shale; visible fossils may be bivalves or ammonites, but species cannot be confirmed from the image
Dragon Vein Agate
Silicon Dioxide (SiO2)
Quartz pebble in concrete
Quartz (SiO₂), embedded in Portland-cement concrete
Glass
Amorphous Silicon Dioxide (SiO2)
Faceted citrine-colored gemstone
Likely citrine (quartz, SiO₂); possibly yellow glass or synthetic gem
Faceted colorless gemstone, likely quartz or glass imitation
Most plausibly rock crystal (quartz, SiO₂); identity is uncertain because the photograph shows only intense facet reflections
Blue goldstone beads
Man-made aventurine glass (silica glass with metallic copper inclusions), not natural lapis lazuli
Black glassy fragment, likely obsidian or industrial glass
Volcanic glass (obsidian), chiefly amorphous SiO₂; identification uncertain from image
Faceted transparent gemstone pendant
Likely cubic zirconia (zirconium dioxide, ZrO₂); possibly diamond or synthetic moissanite
Concretion or weathered iron-rich rock
Likely limonite/goethite-rich concretion; exact identification requires testing
Native metal specimen, likely galena or metallic slag
Probably galena (lead sulfide, PbS); identification is uncertain from the image alone
Sea Glass
Amorphous silicon dioxide (Man-made glass weathered by nature)
Glass Nugget (Tumbled Glass)
Amorphous Silicon Dioxide (SiO2) with additives

Natural impact glass; silica-rich glass, typically ~70–80% SiO₂
Clear quartz crystal (likely quartz point/fragment)
Quartz, silicon dioxide (SiO₂)
