Diamond (set in jewelry)
Carbon (C)
Likely rough garnet
Garnet group, possibly almandine (Fe₃Al₂(SiO₄)₃); identification is uncertain from the image
Blue opalite glass (likely man-made)
Opalite glass; a silica-based amorphous glass, not natural opal
Clear quartz (rough quartz crystal)
Quartz, silicon dioxide (SiO₂)
