Shattuckite (Blue Quartz/Jasper Matrix)
Shattuckite (Copper Silicate Hydroxide - Cu5(SiO3)4(OH)2)
Small rough mineral fragment, possibly quartz or feldspar
Unidentified silicate mineral; image is insufficient for a reliable species identification
Small tan mineral or rock fragment (unidentified)
Indeterminate from the image; no diagnostic features are visible
Faceted Gemstone
Unknown transparent mineral, possibly Diamond (C), Cubic Zirconia (ZrO2), Quartz (SiO2), or Glass
Blue sodalite (likely)
Sodalite, Na₈(Al₆Si₆O₂₄)Cl₂
Fossilized Shark Tooth
Chondrichthyes (Class)
Dearest Jewelry (Multigemstone)
Combination of Diamond (C), Emerald (Be3Al2Si6O18), Amethyst/Rock Crystal (SiO2), Ruby (Al2O3), Emerald (Be3Al2Si6O18), Sapphire (Al2O3), and Topaz (Al2SiO4(F,OH)2)
Agate and millefiori glass jewelry
Agate: microcrystalline quartz (SiO₂); millefiori element appears to be man-made glass
Ruby (in jewelry)
Corundum (Al2O3 with Chromium traces)
Serpentine (rough serpentine-rich rock)
Serpentine-group minerals, chiefly antigorite and/or lizardite; composition broadly Mg₃Si₂O₅(OH)₄
