Primarily quartz varieties and simulants; apparent amethyst (SiO₂), rose quartz (SiO₂), clear quartz (SiO₂), fluorite (CaF₂), sodalite, malachite, and possibly dyed or composite stones
Polished/tumbled brown-and-white mineral fragment
Indeterminate; possibly quartz-rich jasper, brecciated jasper, or an iron-stained quartz mineral
Gemstone jewelry ensemble
Likely mixed gemstone and glass-bead jewelry; exact stones cannot be determined from the image
Dark, weathered stone—possibly basalt or slag
Indeterminate; likely fine-grained basalt (plagioclase–pyroxene)
Carved serpentine pendant
Serpentine-group minerals, commonly antigorite/lizardite (Mg₃Si₂O₅(OH)₄), possibly mixed with chlorite or other inclusions
Pearl
Calcium carbonate (CaCO3) - mainly Aragonite with Conchiolin
Goldstone (blue-goldstone–style glass) beads

Agate: microcrystalline quartz (SiO₂); millefiori element appears to be man-made glass
Lapis lazuli and green-blue chalcedony jewelry
Lapis lazuli: lazurite-bearing metamorphic rock, chiefly lazurite (Na₃Ca(Al₃Si₃O₁₂)S) with calcite and pyrite; second stone: likely chrysoprase or green-blue chalcedony (microcrystalline quartz, SiO₂)

Dyed turquoise-colored lava stone beads
Vesicular basalt (scoria), commonly sold as dyed lava rock
Carved Mottled Greenish-Yellow Crystal/Glass Object
Unknown; possibly a form of quartz (chalcedony/jadeite/nephrite) or glass/resin.
Ornamental ring with likely blue sapphire and diamonds
Blue corundum (sapphire), Al₂O₃; surrounding stones appear diamond, C, set in gold-colored metal
Red gemstone ring, likely garnet or synthetic ruby
Possibly almandine garnet (Fe₃Al₂(SiO₄)₃) or corundum/ruby (Al₂O₃); image alone cannot distinguish
Road-surface aggregate (crushed stone)
Unidentifiable mixed lithic aggregate; likely basaltic/andesitic fragments with feldspar, quartz, and weathered rock
Chert (Flint)
Silicon Dioxide (SiO2)
Note: Item is not a geological specimen
