Red faceted gemstone, likely synthetic ruby or red spinel
Ruby: corundum (Al₂O₃); spinel: MgAl₂O₄; visual identification alone is insufficient
Clear faceted gemstone, likely quartz (rock crystal)
Quartz, silicon dioxide (SiO₂); visual identification is uncertain because the stone is heavily faceted and photographed with flash
Faceted Clear Quartz or Diamond Simulant
Silicon Dioxide (SiO2) if Quartz or Cubic Zirconia (ZrO2) if Synthetic
Turquoise-colored ring stone (possibly turquoise or imitation)
Turquoise, CuAl₆(PO₄)₄(OH)₈·4H₂O; identity cannot be confirmed from the image
Tumbled blue-green stone, possibly aquamarine or chalcedony
Indeterminate from image; possibilities include beryl (Be₃Al₂Si₆O₁₈) or cryptocrystalline quartz (SiO₂)
Smoky Quartz
Smoky Quartz (Silicon Dioxide, SiO2)
Banded Black Onyx (Chalcedony)
Silicon Dioxide (SiO₂)
Gemstone ring (stones not identifiable from image)
Unknown; the ring appears to contain two yellow stones and one colorless stone, possibly faceted gemstones or simulants
Colorless faceted gemstones, likely quartz (rock crystal)
Quartz, silicon dioxide (SiO₂), trigonal crystal system
Black onyx or black obsidian bead bracelet
Likely chalcedony (microcrystalline quartz, SiO₂) if onyx; alternatively volcanic glass (obsidian)
Colorless faceted gemstone, likely cubic zirconia
Cubic zirconia (synthetic ZrO₂), possibly glass or quartz
Polished labradorite cabochon
Labradorite, calcium-rich plagioclase feldspar; approximately (Ca,Na)(Al,Si)₄O₈
Agate (Polished Sphere)
Silicon Dioxide (SiO2)
Blue cabochon gemstone, likely synthetic glass or dyed stone
Indeterminate from image; possible glass, synthetic spinel, sodalite, or lapis lazuli
Blue Goldstone
Synthetic glass with cobalt and copper inclusions
Colorless faceted gemstone, likely glass or cubic zirconia
Probably cubic zirconia (zirconium dioxide, ZrO₂); diamond cannot be confirmed visually

Faceted glass-like gemstone (likely synthetic quartz or cubic zirconia)
Identification uncertain; possibilities include synthetic quartz (SiO₂) or cubic zirconia (ZrO₂)
Pink amethyst or pale pink quartz gemstone
Quartz, SiO₂; pink coloration may result from microscopic inclusions or irradiation-related defects
Yellow faceted gemstone, likely citrine or synthetic glass
Citrine (quartz, SiO₂) is the leading natural possibility; visual identification is uncertain from the photograph
