Granite
Plutonic Igneous Rock
Red garnet cabochon pendant
Likely almandine garnet, iron-rich garnet-group silicate (often approximated as Fe₃Al₂(SiO₄)₃); identification from the image is uncertain.
Granite
Intrusive Igneous Rock
Peridot ring
Gem-quality olivine, typically forsterite–fayalite solid solution ((Mg,Fe)₂SiO₄)
Blue-green gemstone ring, likely treated turquoise or synthetic/treated beryl
Indeterminate from image; possibilities include turquoise (CuAl6(PO4)4(OH)8·4H2O), apatite, or treated beryl
Green calcite (likely)
Calcite — calcium carbonate, CaCO₃
Pegmatite (Granitic Pegmatite with Quartz and Feldspar)
Intrusive Igneous Rock (Granitic Pegmatite)
Corundum (Pink Sapphire / Ruby)
Al2O3 (Aluminum Oxide)
Quartz–pyrite-bearing vein rock, possibly gold-bearing
Quartz (SiO₂) with iron sulfides, chiefly pyrite (FeS₂), in altered host rock
Dyed Crackle Quartz
Silicon Dioxide (SiO2) with synthetic dye
Serpentinite
Serpentinite (composed primarily of Serpentine group minerals, (Mg,Fe,Ni,Al,Zn,Mn)2-3(Si,Al,Fe)2O5(OH)4)
