Citrine
Citrine (Silicon Dioxide, SiO2)
Tumbled Clear Quartz and Citrine Points
Silicon Dioxide (SiO2)
Silicon
Crystalline Silicon (Si)
Blue resin-coated or dyed stone cabochon
Likely dyed chalcedony/agate (microcrystalline quartz, SiO₂); exact material is uncertain from the image
Rainbow Hematite / Magnetic Hematite
Iron oxide (Fe2O3) - often synthetic/coated for beads
White Sapphire
Corundum (Al2O3)
Pink tourmaline (rubellite)
Elbaite tourmaline, lithium sodium aluminum borosilicate: Na(Li1.5Al1.5)Al6(BO3)3Si6O18(OH)4
Polished tiger’s-eye
Quartz variety, SiO₂, with crocidolite-derived iron inclusions
Blue gemstone ring, likely sapphire
Corundum, Al₂O₃ (probable blue sapphire); surrounding stones may be diamonds or simulants
Blue Goldstone
Synthetic Aventurescent Glass (Cobalt-doped soda-lime glass)
Opalite (Man-made Glass)
Synthetic Silicon Dioxide Glass (SiO2 + metal oxides)
Likely amethyst cabochon ring
Quartz, SiO₂; purple coloration from trace iron and irradiation
Pink/red faceted gemstone, likely synthetic corundum or glass imitation
Corundum (Al₂O₃), ruby/sapphire variety; exact identification requires testing
Man-made Synthetic Material (Not a rock or mineral)
Polyester (Polyethylene terephthalate) / Faux Fur
Iridescent polished/tumbled stone (likely coated quartz or glassy synthetic material)
Indeterminate; possibly quartz (SiO₂) with an artificial iridescent coating
Opalite
Synthetic Glass, SiO2 base with metallic inclusions
Limonite (Iron Ore)
Limonite; FeO(OH)·nH2O
Green Fluorite (likely synthetic or heat-treated for jewelry)
Calcium Fluoride (CaF2)
Faceted colorless gemstone, likely quartz or glass imitation
Most plausibly rock crystal (quartz, SiO₂); identity is uncertain because the photograph shows only intense facet reflections
Rose Quartz and Cherry Quartz (Dyed Glass/Quartz)
Silicon Dioxide (SiO2) with inclusions/dye
Pink corundum (likely synthetic or treated sapphire)
Corundum, Al₂O₃; pink coloration commonly from chromium or treatment
Blue Sapphire
Corundum (Al2O3)
Polished blue stone, likely sodalite or dyed agate
Most consistent with sodalite (Na₈(Al₆Si₆O₂₄)Cl₂), though the image cannot confirm composition
Likely blue sapphire ring
Corundum (Al₂O₃), likely sapphire; surrounding stones may be diamonds or colored gems
Blue Goldstone
Synthetic glass with copper or cobalt/manganese inclusions
Ruby
Corundum (Al2O3 with Chromium trace)
Blue Sapphire
Corundum (Al2O3 with trace Titanium and Iron)
Diamond (Faceted Colorless)
Diamond (Pure Carbon, C)
Orgonite Pyramid (containing Amethyst and mixed minerals)
Silicon Dioxide (SiO2) in synthetic resin
Blue gemstone, likely iolite or blue sapphire
Iolite (cordierite, Mg₂Al₄Si₅O₁₈) or corundum (sapphire, Al₂O₃)
Blue Goldstone
Auraventurine (Synthetic glass with cobalt and copper inclusions)
Blue gemstone ring, likely lapis lazuli
Lapis lazuli: lazurite-rich metamorphic rock, chiefly (Na,Ca)8(AlSiO4)6(S,SO)2, commonly with calcite and pyrite
Amethyst cabochon ring
Amethyst, purple quartz (SiO₂)
Lava Stone and Chakra Beads
Basalt (with various mineral/synthetic beads)
Colorless faceted gemstone, likely quartz (rock crystal)
Quartz, silicon dioxide (SiO₂); exact identification cannot be confirmed from the photograph
Polished gemstone tower assortment
Primarily quartz varieties and simulants; apparent amethyst (SiO₂), rose quartz (SiO₂), clear quartz (SiO₂), fluorite (CaF₂), sodalite, malachite, and possibly dyed or composite stones
Smoky Quartz
Silicon Dioxide (SiO2)
Ruby (Rough/Raw)
Corundum (Al2O3:Cr)
Blue-green faceted gemstone, likely turquoise or treated turquoise
Turquoise: hydrated copper–aluminum phosphate, CuAl₆(PO₄)₄(OH)₈·4H₂O; exact identification is uncertain from the image
Opal-like cabochon ring stone
Likely common opal (hydrated amorphous silica, SiO₂·nH₂O); exact material uncertain from the photograph
Turquoise
Hydrated copper aluminum phosphate, CuAl₆(PO₄)₄(OH)₈·4H₂O
Cubic Zirconia (Jewelry Setting)
Zirconium Dioxide (ZrO2)
