Quartz (Druzy / Goldstone Gemstone Cabochon)
Silicon Dioxide (SiO2)
Opalite
Synthetic Glass (Hydrated Crystalline Silicon Dioxide simulation)
Opalite-style pendant (likely synthetic glass, not natural opal)
Opalescent glass; commonly sold as “opalite” (not a recognized mineral species)
Diamond (or synthetic simulant)
Cubic C (Carbon)
Red gemstone ring, likely synthetic ruby or red glass; exact stone cannot be confirmed from the image
Ruby (corundum, Al₂O₃) if natural; the setting appears to be silver-tone metal
Faceted color-change gemstone, likely synthetic alexandrite or glass imitation
Alexandrite: chrysoberyl, BeAl₂O₄; exact identification requires gemological testing
Opalite
Man-made Glass (Synthetic Opalized Glass)
Goldstone
Aventurine glass (Synthetic glass with copper inclusions)
Ruby / Red Tourmaline
Corundum (Al2O3) or Elbaite (Na(Li1.5Al1.5)Al6(Si6O18)(BO3)3(OH)4)
Corundum (Pink Sapphire / Ruby)
Al2O3 (Aluminum Oxide)
Fluorite
Calcium Fluoride (CaF2)
Red faceted gemstone, likely synthetic ruby or red glass
Ruby: corundum, aluminum oxide (Al₂O₃), chromium-colored; identity cannot be confirmed visually
Smoky Quartz
Silicon Dioxide (SiO2)
Blue Goldstone
Aventurine glass (Synthetic borosilicate glass with cobalt and metallic inclusions)
Smoky Quartz
Silicon Dioxide (SiO2)
Quartz (Smoky Quartz variant)
Silicon Dioxide (SiO2)
Colorless faceted gemstone, likely glass or quartz
Uncertain; possibly quartz (SiO₂), but the strong uniform brilliance and apparent molded/faceted form may indicate leaded glass or cubic zirconia
Opalite
Man-made Synthetic Glass (Silicon Dioxide with metal additives)
Decorative opal-like turtle mosaic
Likely imitation or assembled opal material; exact stones cannot be confirmed visually
Clear Quartz (Rock Crystal)
Silicon Dioxide (SiO2)
Polished tiger’s eye
Quartz (microcrystalline SiO₂) with crocidolite-derived iron oxides
Clear-stone silver-tone teardrop earring
The stones may be colorless quartz or glass; the image does not allow reliable identification. Metal setting appears silver-tone.
Amethyst (faceted gemstone)
Quartz, silicon dioxide (SiO₂), purple variety colored mainly by iron-related defects
Smoky Quartz
Silicon Dioxide (SiO2)
Opalite
Synthetic Glass (Simulated Moonstone/Opal)
Cubic Zirconia
Zirconium dioxide (ZrO2)
Red gemstone ring, possibly synthetic ruby or red glass
Unidentified red stone; ruby is corundum (Al₂O₃), but the image cannot confirm its identity
Strawberry Quartz
Silicon Dioxide with Hematite inclusions (SiO2 + Fe2O3)
Amethyst jewelry centerpiece
Amethyst, purple quartz (SiO₂), likely set with colorless diamonds or other gems
Blue glassy mineral specimen, possibly blue topaz or aquamarine
Tentatively topaz (Al₂SiO₄(F,OH)₂) or beryl/aquamarine (Be₃Al₂Si₆O₁₈); identification is limited by severe image blur
Gem-set gold ring
Unidentified transparent gemstone, possibly quartz or glass, set in a gold-colored metal ring
Blue faceted gemstone, likely sapphire
Corundum (Al₂O₃), likely blue sapphire; identity cannot be confirmed from the photograph alone
Pink faceted gemstone, possibly pink sapphire
Uncertain from the image; possibly corundum (Al₂O₃)
Silicon Carbide
Silicon Carbide, SiC
Cubic Zirconia
Zirconium Dioxide (ZrO2)
Turquoise cabochon or turquoise-bearing material
Turquoise, hydrated copper aluminum phosphate — CuAl₆(PO₄)₄(OH)₈·4H₂O
Blue Sapphire
Corundum (Al2O3)
Green gemstone ring, possibly emerald
The green stone may be emerald (beryl, Be₃Al₂Si₆O₁₈), but the photo cannot confirm its identity; the setting appears to be silver-colored metal.
Emerald
Beryl (Be3Al2(SiO3)6) with Chromium/Vanadium impurities
Smoky Quartz
Silicon Dioxide (SiO2)
Hematite cameo or hematine imitation
Hematite (Fe₂O₃); possibly synthetic hematine or black glass
Yellow faceted gemstone, likely citrine or yellow beryl
Quartz (SiO₂), if citrine; beryl (Be₃Al₂Si₆O₁₈), if heliodor
