White Jade (Nephrite)
Nephrite, Ca2(Mg,Fe)5Si8O22(OH)2
Demantoid Garnet on Matrix
Demantoid (variety of Andradite Garnet) - Ca3(Fe3+)2(SiO4)3
Dalmatian jasper
Dalmatian stone, typically a leucocratic alkali-feldspar-rich porphyritic igneous rock with black arfvedsonite or aegirine inclusions
Dark volcanic pebble, likely basalt
Basalt; fine-grained mafic rock composed mainly of plagioclase, pyroxene, and commonly olivine or magnetite
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.
