Fossilized gastropod (likely nerite or related sea snail)
Gastropoda; shell composed originally of aragonite/calcite, commonly replaced or infilled by calcite
Fired Clay Brick (Anthropic Rock substitute)
Anthropogenic polycrystalline ceramic (predominantly Mullite and Quartz: Al6Si2O13 + SiO2)
Diamond (or Diamond Simulant)
Carbon (C) or Cubic Zirconia (ZrO2)
Brecciated Jasper
Brecciated Jasper (Microcrystalline Quartz / SiO2)
Diamond (in Jewelry)
Carbon (C)
Blue chalcedony cabochon (probable)
Chalcedony, a cryptocrystalline variety of quartz; silicon dioxide, SiO₂
Tumbled greenstone (likely serpentinite or green jasper)
Serpentinite, commonly dominated by serpentine-group minerals (Mg₃Si₂O₅(OH)₄); exact identification requires testing
Polished blue gemstone bead bracelet, likely aquamarine
Aquamarine, blue variety of beryl (Be₃Al₂Si₆O₁₈); identification from the image is uncertain
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)
Crushed Limestone
Calcium Carbonate (CaCO3)
Diamond (Cut and Polished)
Diamond (pure Carbon, C)
Diamond
Carbon (C)
Black tumbled stone, possibly obsidian
Obsidian (natural volcanic glass; composition varies, typically silica-rich)
Red-and-brown agate bead bracelet
Agate, a microcrystalline variety of quartz (SiO₂), likely colored chalcedony/carnelian
Conglomerate
Conglomerate (Clastic Sedimentary Rock)
Weathered conglomeratic river cobble
Polymictic conglomerate or breccia, likely matrix-supported
Blue Goldstone
Aventurine Glass
Iron-Nickel Meteorite (Possible Chondrite or Oxidized Iron)
Siderite (Nickel-Iron) or Chondrite (Si/Fe composite)
Polished pietersite-like brecciated jasper
Silicified chalcedony/jasper aggregate, primarily SiO₂; exact material uncertain from image
Basalt
Basalt
Polished basalt or basaltic river pebble
Basalt; fine-grained plagioclase–pyroxene rock, possibly containing olivine
Amethyst gemstone ring
Quartz, purple variety — SiO₂
Diamond
Native Carbon (C)
Diamond (faceted)
Diamond (Pure Carbon, C)
Faceted gemstone in a jewelry setting
Indeterminate from image; likely quartz, cubic zirconia, or another transparent faceted stone
Blue tumbled glass or dyed stone (uncertain)
Unidentified; appearance is consistent with blue glass, but a blue mineral such as dyed quartz cannot be ruled out from the photo
Orgonite Pyramid (containing Amethyst and mixed minerals)
Silicon Dioxide (SiO2) in synthetic resin
Diamond
Carbon (C)
Flint (gray chert)
Microcrystalline quartz (SiO₂), a variety of chert
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.
Tumbled greenstone / serpentinite (probable)
Serpentinite, chiefly Mg-rich serpentine minerals (antigorite, lizardite, chrysotile), possibly mixed with chlorite, magnetite, or carbonate
Probable amber fragment
Amber (fossilized plant resin; chiefly amorphous organic resin, commonly dominated by succinite)
Polished serpentine-rich stone (likely serpentine jasper or “rainforest jasper”)
Serpentine-group minerals, chiefly antigorite/lizardite, with iron oxides and silica-rich rock matrix
