Basalt, chiefly plagioclase and pyroxene; identification is uncertain from the image
Polished green-and-black banded cabochon (likely malachite imitation or dyed agate)
Uncertain; possible malachite (Cu₂CO₃(OH)₂), banded agate (SiO₂), or man-made glass
Rough Diamond
Native Carbon (C)
N/A - Man-made object (Jewelry Chain)
Antiqued or Oxidized Metal Chain (often Steel or Brass)
