Dyed Agate Slice
Silicon Dioxide (SiO2) - variety of Chalcedony
Dyed Howlite (simulating Lavender/Purple Jade or Charoite)
Howlite: Ca2B5SiO9(OH)5 (when natural)
Tumbled jasper or chert
Microcrystalline quartz (SiO₂), likely jasper/chert
Dyed Agate (Tumbled)
Silicon Dioxide (Chalcedony variety, artificially dyed)
Dyed Blue Agate Druzy Pendant
Quartz / Chalcedony (SiO2) with artificial color treatment
Jasper
Silicon Dioxide (SiO2) microcrystalline quartz
Dyed Agate (Dragon Vein Agate Bead)
Silicon dioxide (SiO2) variety Chalcedony
Likely blue-green glassy slag or a weathered mineral fragment
Unidentified; the image does not show diagnostic features sufficient for a mineral identification
Tumbled blue jasper or blue-dyed jasper
Microcrystalline quartz (chalcedony), SiO₂; blue coloration may be natural or dye-enhanced
Smoky Quartz
Silicon Dioxide (SiO2)
Blue resin-coated or dyed stone cabochon
Likely dyed chalcedony/agate (microcrystalline quartz, SiO₂); exact material is uncertain from the image
Green sea glass (likely slag glass or bottle glass)
Man-made soda-lime silicate glass; not a naturally occurring mineral
Dzi Bead (Agate Bead)
Cryptocrystalline Quartz (SiO2) - Chalcedony/Agate
Citrine (Heat-Treated Amethyst)
Quartz (SiO2)
Dyed Crackle Quartz (Green)
Quenching-treated Quartz (Silicon Dioxide, SiO2)
Slag Glass
Vitreous Silicate Residue
Likely quartz-rich rock fragment
Quartz (SiO₂), possibly a fragment of quartzite or silica-rich slag
Unidentified polished dark stone with a possible quartz fragment
Indeterminate; appearance may reflect polished basalt, obsidian, or iron-rich rock, with a pale quartz/feldspar inclusion
Tumbled smoky quartz
Quartz (SiO₂), brown smoky variety
Iridescent bismuth crystal
Bismuth (Bi), artificially crystallized
Iron-rich vesicular rock, possibly slag or weathered basalt
Identification uncertain; likely ferruginous basalt/ironstone, with possible anthropogenic iron slag
Slag Glass
Anthropogenic Amorphous Silicon Dioxide
Iridescent bismuth crystal
Bismuth (Bi), commonly laboratory-grown and oxidized
Polished basalt pebble
Basalt, a fine-grained mafic volcanic rock composed chiefly of plagioclase and pyroxene, commonly with olivine
Possible tumbled jasper or iron-rich chert
Microcrystalline quartz (SiO₂), commonly colored by iron oxides
Blue glassy gemstone cabochon, likely dyed chalcedony or glass
Uncertain; possible dyed chalcedony (microcrystalline quartz, SiO₂)
Dyed Purple Agate
Silicon Dioxide (SiO2) - Cryptocrystalline Quartz
Dyed Pink Dragon Vein Agate
Silicon Dioxide (SiO2) with artificial dye additives
Likely iron-rich rock or weathered metallic mineral fragment
Uncertain; possibly limonite/goethite or iron-bearing slag
Native metal specimen, likely galena or metallic slag
Probably galena (lead sulfide, PbS); identification is uncertain from the image alone
Blue Quartzite (Dyed)
Silicon Dioxide (SiO2) with inclusions
