Goldstone (likely red/brown aventurine glass)
Man-made aventurine glass; copper-bearing silicate glass (not a natural mineral)
Blue goldstone
Man-made aventurine glass containing metallic copper particles; not a natural mineral
Faceted clear gemstone, likely quartz or glass imitation
Most likely quartz (SiO₂); exact identification requires refractive-index and hardness tests
Rounded graywacke or sandstone cobble
Lithified clastic sandstone; likely quartz–feldspar–lithic grain aggregate in a silica or calcite matrix
Hematite Beads
Hematite (Fe2O3)
Dyed Dragon Vein Agate
Silicon Dioxide (SiO2) with artificial pigment
Carved Mottled Greenish-Yellow Crystal/Glass Object
Unknown; possibly a form of quartz (chalcedony/jadeite/nephrite) or glass/resin.
Polymictic conglomerate or breccia (possibly concrete-like aggregate)
Lithified polymictic gravel; clasts may include basalt, granite, quartzite, and other silicates
Unidentified polished mineral fragment
Likely quartz-bearing stone; exact identification is impossible from the blurred photograph
