Man-made Glass (SiO2 + additives)
Blue faceted gemstone, likely synthetic sapphire or blue spinel
Corundum (Al₂O₃) if sapphire; alternatively magnesium aluminate spinel (MgAl₂O₄)
Blue stone cabochon, likely lapis lazuli or dyed stone
Lapis lazuli: lazurite-rich rock, chiefly (Na,Ca)₈(AlSiO₄)₆(S,SO)₂; exact identification is uncertain from the image
Red cabochon gemstone ring (likely glass or synthetic stone)
Undetermined; the image does not establish a natural mineral identity
Pink faceted gemstone, likely synthetic ruby or pink sapphire
Corundum (Al₂O₃), possibly chromium-colored ruby; synthetic origin likely
Decorative opal-like turtle mosaic
Likely imitation or assembled opal material; exact stones cannot be confirmed visually
Ruby (set in a ring; possibly synthetic or imitation)
Corundum, Al₂O₃; red color is typically caused by chromium
Colorless faceted gemstone, likely quartz
Quartz (SiO₂), probably rock crystal; exact identification is uncertain from the strongly backlit image
