Sandstone
Arenite (SiO2 based)
Carved Mottled Greenish-Yellow Crystal/Glass Object
Unknown; possibly a form of quartz (chalcedony/jadeite/nephrite) or glass/resin.
Faceted clear gemstone ring, likely quartz or glass imitation
Unidentified colorless faceted material; quartz (SiO₂) is possible, but the image cannot distinguish it from glass or another gem
Asphalt Concrete (Bituminous Conglomerate)
Anthropogenic Bituminous Conglomerate
Jewelry Chain with Blue and Clear Gemstones (Likely Cubic Zirconia)
Cubic Zirconia (ZrO₂), Silver or White Gold/Platinum Alloy
Likely rough green-blue glassy mineral fragment
Unidentified; the image is insufficient to distinguish a natural mineral from industrial slag or glass
Weathered concrete or cementitious slab (not natural rock)
Artificial calcium-silicate cement composite; likely Portland cement concrete
Crushed Stone / Gravel
Aggregatus saxum (variable mineral composition)
Opalite
Synthetic Glass / Man-made Opal Simulant
Sea glass (likely pale blue glass)
Human-made silicate glass, likely soda-lime glass; not a natural mineral or rock
Kidney Stone
Calcium oxalate, uric acid, struvite, or cystine
Man-made Blank Ammunition (Brass)
CuZn (Cartridge Brass - roughly 70% Copper, 30% Zinc)
Native American Pottery Sherd
Blue Goldstone
Aventurine Glass (Silicon Dioxide infused with Cobalt/Copper)
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.
Green sea glass (likely)
Anthropogenic glass, not a mineral; composition commonly soda–lime silicate glass
Dyed Quartz Cube
Silicon Dioxide (SiO2)
Chert Arrowhead (Jasper)
Chert (Cryptocrystalline Quartz, SiO2)
Sea Glass
Anthropogenic Silicate Glass
Orange glassy slag (industrial by-product)
Iron-rich silicate glass; composition varies, commonly Fe–Ca–Al silicate
Asphalt Concrete (Bituminous Concrete)
Bituminous aggregate
Breccia
Breccia
Sandstone Concretion
Sedimentary concretion
Sandstone
Arenite (SiO2 based typically)
Bismuth Crystal
Bismuth (Bi)
Sea Glass
Man-made vitreous material / Silicon dioxide
Goldstone (aventurine glass)
Synthetic copper-bearing soda-lime glass; commonly sold as red goldstone
Polished banded calcite (onyx marble)
Calcite, CaCO₃; commonly marketed as “honey onyx” or “Mexican onyx”
Beaded gemstone bracelet
Indeterminate; likely small polished mineral beads, possibly turquoise or dyed stone, with metal and glass components
Likely blue-green glassy slag or a weathered mineral fragment
Unidentified; the image does not show diagnostic features sufficient for a mineral identification
Asphalt / Road Aggregate
Bituminous Conglomerate (synthetic)
Concrete
Anthropogenic Sedimentary Conglomerate (Cement mixture: typically Ca2SiO4, Ca3SiO5, Ca3Al2O6)
Tumbled yellow quartz (likely citrine)
Quartz, silicon dioxide (SiO₂), iron-colored variety
Polished banded jasper (likely red jasper)
Microcrystalline quartz/chalcedony, SiO₂, colored by iron oxides; exact variety uncertain
Blue glass-like bead or gemstone keychain ornament
Indeterminate; likely cobalt-blue glass or synthetic blue spinel, not identifiable as a natural mineral from the image
Chert (likely flint)
Microcrystalline quartz, SiO₂
Polished, carved gemstone (possibly dyed agate or glass-like material)
Unconfirmed from the image; no specific mineral can be identified reliably
Likely green bottle glass, not a geological specimen
Manufactured soda-lime silicate glass
Note: This is a Man-Made Object (Costume/Prop Patch)
Synthetic fiber and pigments (Cellulose/Plastic-based composite)
Sandstone (with concrete/human-made layer)
Clastic Sedimentary Rock (primarily Quartz/Feldspar grains)
Crinoid stem fossil
Crinoidea
Carved yellow stone butterfly
Undetermined; possibly carved soapstone (talc-rich rock) or another soft ornamental stone
