Lapis Lazuli
A metamorphic rock primarily composed of lazurite (Na,Ca)8[(S,SO4,Cl)2|(Al6Si6O24)], calcite (CaCO3), and pyrite (FeS2).
Sea Glass (Frosted Glass)
Amorphous Silica (SiO2) with various metal oxide impurities
Muscovite Mica
Muscovite (Potassium Aluminum Silicate Hydroxide Fluoride), KAl2(AlSi3O10)(OH,F)2
Jade
Jade can refer to two distinct minerals: Nephrite (a variety of the mineral actinolite, Ca2(Mg,Fe)5Si8O22(OH)2) and Jadeite (Na(Al,Fe3+)Si2O6). Based on the image, showing a relatively uniform green color and possibly slight translucence in bead form, it is very likely one of these, but determining which one from a photo is difficult without specific testing.
Rose Quartz Carving
Quartum roseum (Variety of Quartz, SiO2)
Chert (Jasper Variant likely)
Silicon Dioxide (SiO2)
Marble
Marble (metamorphosed limestone/dolostone). Predominantly composed of Calcite (CaCO3) for marble derived from limestone, or Dolomite (CaMg(CO3)2) for marble derived from dolostone.
