K2 Stone (or K2 Jasper)
Azurite-in-Granite (Potassium Feldspar, Quartz, Plagioclase, Muscovite, and Azurite)
Synthetic Faux Fur Fursuit
Polyacrylonitrile / Polyester (Synthetic Textile)
Synthetic Resin Charm (Seal Shape)
Polymer Resin with plastic glitter / Polyethylene terephthalate glitters
Yellow Sapphire
Corundum (Al2O3:Fe)
Champagne topaz (likely)
Topaz, Al₂SiO₄(F,OH)₂
Gemstone jewelry ensemble
Likely mixed gemstone and glass-bead jewelry; exact stones cannot be determined from the image
Likely citrine or yellow glass imitation in a silver-tone bracelet
Citrine: quartz, SiO₂; exact material cannot be confirmed visually
Larimar
Pectolite (NaCa2Si3O8(OH))
Sapphire (likely blue synthetic sapphire or blue glass in a ring)
Corundum (Al₂O₃), specifically the blue variety due to trace amounts of iron and titanium impurities. If synthetic, it would still be Al₂O₃.
Blue quartz (likely dyed or synthetic-treated quartz beads)
Quartz, silicon dioxide (SiO₂)
Opalite
Man-made synthetic glass with opalescent effects (SiO2 + metal oxides)
Sandstone (likely Fossilized Wood or Concrete Simulacrum)
Arenite / Silicified Wood / Anthropogenic Concrete
Faceted black gemstone, likely black spinel
Spinel (MgAl₂O₄); identification from the image is uncertain
Carborundum (Silicon Carbide)
Silicon Carbide (SiC)
Diamond-set gold ring
Diamond (carbon, C) in a gold alloy setting; the clear center stone may be a diamond or a diamond simulant
Blue Sapphire
Corundum (Al2O3)
Turquoise cabochon
Turquoise, hydrated copper aluminum phosphate — CuAl₆(PO₄)₄(OH)₈·4H₂O
Cubic Zirconia (Faceted)
Zirconium Dioxide (ZrO2)
Blue glassy mineral fragment, possibly dyed/cobalt-colored calcite or aragonite
Uncertain from image; vivid blue coloration may indicate treated calcite (CaCO₃), aragonite (CaCO₃), or synthetic glass
Synthetic Costume Glove (Paws)
Polyethylene terephthalate (Polyester) & Polyurethane blend
Tumbled amethyst
Amethyst, purple quartz (SiO₂)
Assorted Semi-Precious Gemstone Crosses
Quartz, Silicates, Carbonates (various)

Diamond (in jewelry)
Cubic Carbon (C)
Ruby
Corundum (Al2O3 with Chromium traces)
Blue topaz-style pendant gemstone
Likely blue topaz (Al₂SiO₄(F,OH)₂); the image cannot confirm the stone or whether it is natural or synthetic.

Pearl: nacre, primarily aragonite (CaCO₃) with conchiolin
Note: This is a Man-Made Object (Costume/Prop Patch)
Synthetic fiber and pigments (Cellulose/Plastic-based composite)
Blue-green opal, likely polished common or synthetic opal
Opal (hydrated amorphous silica, SiO₂·nH₂O); identification from the image is uncertain
Faceted clear gemstone, likely glass or cubic zirconia
Undetermined; could be synthetic cubic zirconia (ZrO₂) or cut glass (silica-based)
Synthetic Resin (Artificial Specimen)
Polyurethane or Polyester Resin
Silicon Carbide (Carborundum)
Silicon Carbide (SiC)
Blue cabochon gemstone ring
Likely blue turquoise, glass-filled sapphire, or blue spinel; exact identification requires testing
