Anthracite Coal
Anthracite (Carbon-based organic sedimentary rock transitioned to metamorphic)
Ruby (mounted cabochon)
Corundum, Al₂O₃; red color typically from chromium
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.
Amber
Succinicum (Organic Gemstone - Resinite)
Pink amethyst or pale pink quartz gemstone
Quartz, SiO₂; pink coloration may result from microscopic inclusions or irradiation-related defects
Amber
Succinite
Pink Cubic Zirconia (CZ)
Zirconium Dioxide (ZrO2)
Chert (Hag Stone / Hole Stone)
Chert (Cryptocrystalline variety of Quartz, SiO2)
Amber
Succinite (fossilized resin)
Chert (Flint)
Silicon dioxide (SiO2)
Gold-colored gemstone ring, likely citrine or glass imitation
Indeterminate from image; possible quartz (SiO₂) or yellow glass set in gold-colored metal
Turquoise-colored ring stone (possibly turquoise or imitation)
Turquoise, CuAl₆(PO₄)₄(OH)₈·4H₂O; identity cannot be confirmed from the image
