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

Citrine (Silicon Dioxide, SiO2)
Blue Goldstone
Synthetic Aventurescent Glass (Cobalt-doped soda-lime glass)
Pink tourmaline (rubellite)
Elbaite tourmaline, lithium sodium aluminum borosilicate: Na(Li1.5Al1.5)Al6(BO3)3Si6O18(OH)4
Goldstone
Not a natural mineral or rock. It is an ornamental glass.
Blue Goldstone
Synthetic glass with copper or cobalt/manganese inclusions
Faceted red gemstone, likely synthetic ruby or red spinel
Possibly corundum (Al₂O₃, ruby) or spinel (MgAl₂O₄); identity cannot be confirmed from the image
Blue resin-coated or dyed stone cabochon
Likely dyed chalcedony/agate (microcrystalline quartz, SiO₂); exact material is uncertain from the image
Beach Pebble Quartzite / Chalcedony Pebble
Silicon Dioxide (SiO2)
Rose Quartz
Silicon Dioxide (SiO2) with trace amounts of titanium, iron, or manganese
Man-made Synthetic Material (Plastic/Composite)
Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene (ABS) or High-Impact Polystyrene (HIPS)
Iridescent polished/tumbled stone (likely coated quartz or glassy synthetic material)
Indeterminate; possibly quartz (SiO₂) with an artificial iridescent coating
Blue Goldstone
Auraventurine (Synthetic glass with cobalt and copper inclusions)
Colorless cut gemstone, likely white sapphire
Corundum (Al₂O₃), tentatively identified; the image alone cannot confirm the stone
Blue Sapphire
Corundum (Al2O3)
Greenstone / Serpentinite
Serpentinite (complex of Mg, Fe, Ni, Al, Zn, Mn silicate minerals including Antigorite, Lizardite, and Chrysotile)
Faceted purple gemstone, likely amethyst
Quartz (SiO₂), purple variety colored by trace iron and natural irradiation
Pink corundum (likely synthetic or treated sapphire)
Corundum, Al₂O₃; pink coloration commonly from chromium or treatment
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
