Polished white chalcedony or quartz pendant
Microcrystalline quartz (chalcedony), SiO₂; exact identification is uncertain from the image
Polished yellow-green serpentine pendant
Serpentine-group minerals, chiefly antigorite and/or lizardite; approximate formula Mg3Si2O5(OH)4
Polished black stone, likely obsidian
Obsidian (volcanic glass; mostly silica-rich rhyolitic composition)
