Blue Goldstone
Aventurine Glass
Strawberry Quartz
Silicon Dioxide (SiO2) with Hematite/Goethite inclusions
Faceted clear gemstone, likely quartz or glass imitation
Most likely quartz (SiO₂); exact identification requires refractive-index and hardness tests
Black tumbled stone, possibly obsidian
Obsidian (volcanic glass; predominantly SiO₂), identification uncertain from image
Rounded graywacke or sandstone cobble
Lithified clastic sandstone; likely quartz–feldspar–lithic grain aggregate in a silica or calcite matrix
Clear quartz crystal (likely)
Quartz, silicon dioxide (SiO₂)
Opalite
Synthetic Opalized Glass

Concrete with Aggregate
Composite construction material; primary matrix is Calcium Silicate Hydrate (C-S-H)
Ferrochrome Slag
Anthropogenic slag (Fe-Cr alloy waste)
Unidentified polished dark gemstone cabochon
Possibly hematite, obsidian, jet, or dark agate; image insufficient for a definitive identification
Painted beach pebble
Unidentified natural pebble; underlying lithology cannot be determined from the image
Possibly garnet-bearing rock fragment
Unidentified reddish-brown mineral or rock; the image is insufficient for a reliable species identification.
Cubic Zirconia (Simulated Diamond)
Cubic Zirconia (ZrO2)
Opalite
Synthetic Opalite Glass (Silicon Dioxide)
Blue Glass or Slag Glass
Amorphous Silica (Anthropogenic Glass)
Blue-dyed tumbled quartz or glass imitation
