Likely tumbled red mineral or glass imitation
Indeterminate; possibilities include red jasper (microcrystalline quartz, SiO₂) or dyed chalcedony
Blue tumbled glass-like specimen; likely blue slag glass
Likely man-made glass (silicate glass), not a natural mineral; exact material cannot be confirmed from the image
Fulgurite
Fulgurite (Lechatelierite)
Fulgurite
Fulgurite (Lechatelierite-rich variety)
Decorative gemstone bracelet or jewelry
Unidentifiable from the blurred image; likely colored glass or synthetic stones, possibly mixed gemstone beads
Emerald-like green beryl fragment
Beryl, Be₃Al₂Si₆O₁₈; green color typically from chromium or vanadium
Pearl and Garnet Glass
Calcium Carbonate (CaCO3) for pearl; Silicon Dioxide (SiO2) for glass
Polished blue-orange feldspar (likely labradorite or sunstone)
Plagioclase feldspar, likely labradorite (approximately (Ca,Na)(Al,Si)₄O₈)
Blue-green faceted pendant stone
Undetermined; possibly synthetic glass or a blue-green gemstone such as topaz or quartz
Small greenish-gold mineral fragment, possibly olivine (peridot)
Olivine-group silicate, (Mg,Fe)₂SiO₄; identification is uncertain from the image
Black tumbled stone, possibly obsidian
Obsidian, naturally occurring rhyolitic glass; identification is uncertain from the image alone
Quartz crystal cluster
Quartz (silicon dioxide, SiO₂), likely clear or milky quartz
Ethiopian green opal (likely common opal)
Opal, hydrated amorphous silica (SiO₂·nH₂O); exact identity cannot be confirmed from this small photo
Tumbled honey-colored quartz (likely iron-stained quartzite)
Quartz, silicon dioxide (SiO₂); possibly quartz-rich quartzite
Milky quartz pendant
Quartz (silicon dioxide, SiO₂)
Blue Slag Glass
Amorphous Silica (Industrial byproduct)
Pale green tumbled stone, possibly fluorite
Uncertain from the photo; appearance is consistent with fluorite (CaF₂)
Blue Goldstone
Aventurine Glass (SiO2 with Co and metallic inclusions)
Weathered quartz-rich metamorphic rock, possibly quartzite or gneiss
Quartz-dominant silicate rock; likely quartz (SiO₂) with feldspar, mica, and minor iron-oxide staining
White sea glass (naturally frosted glass fragment)
Man-made silicate glass, typically soda-lime glass; not a mineral or rock
Rounded quartz-rich pebble
Likely quartz sandstone or quartzite; visual identification is uncertain
Likely rough amethyst (purple quartz)
Quartz, SiO₂; amethyst variety
Weathered quartz-rich pebble, possibly chalcedony or quartzite
