Diamond (or Diamond Simulant)
Carbon (C)
Opalite
Synthetic Opalized Glass
Opalite
Synthetic Glass (Simulated Opal)
Blue Zircon
Zircon (Zirconium Silicate - ZrSiO4)
Ruby (set in a ring; possibly synthetic or imitation)
Corundum, Al₂O₃; red color is typically caused by chromium
Goldstone
Aventurine Glass (Man-made)
Opalite
Synthetic Opalized Glass
Opalite
Synthetic Glass (SiO2 + impurities)
Red cabochon gemstone ring (likely glass or synthetic stone)
Undetermined; the image does not establish a natural mineral identity
Opalite
Synthetic Opalised Glass
Moissanite
Silicon Carbide (SiC)
Cobalt Glass Slug (Man-made Glass)
Amorphous Silica with Cobalt Oxide (SiO2 + CoO)
Diamond (or Diamond Simulant)
Carbon (C) or Zirconium dioxide (ZrO2) for CZ
Yellow-green faceted gemstone (possibly peridot)
Undetermined; peridot is gem-quality olivine, (Mg,Fe)₂SiO₄
Diamond (or Diamond Simulant)
Carbon (C) if diamond, various if simulant (e.g., Cubic Zirconia ZrO2)
Small clear crystal, possibly quartz or glass-like gemstone
Uncertain; likely quartz (SiO₂), but the image is insufficient to exclude man-made glass or cubic zirconia
Goldstone (Brown)
Aventurine glass
Diamond (or Diamond Simulant like Cubic Zirconia)
Carbon (C) - if Diamond; Zirconium dioxide (ZrO2) - if Cubic Zirconia
Opalite
Synthetic Opalized Glass / Man-made Glass
Diamond (or Simulant)
Carbon (C) or relevant simulant formula (e.g., ZrO2 for Cubic Zirconia)
Opalite (Synthetic Moonstone/Opal)
Synthetic Silica Glass
Blue cabochon gemstone ring
Uncertain; likely blue sapphire (corundum, Al₂O₃), blue topaz, or synthetic glass/spinel
Opalite

Opalite
Synthetic Opalised Glass
Clear Quartz crystals on a Matrix base (Geode fragment)
Silicon Dioxide (SiO2)
Cut diamond-like gemstone
