Green Agate
Silicon dioxide (SiO₂)
Dyed Crackle Quartz
Silicon Dioxide (SiO2) with synthetic dye
Possible weathered basalt or slag fragment
Basalt, chiefly plagioclase and pyroxene; identification is uncertain from the image
Metal Chain (Likely Steel or a Steel Alloy)
Steel (primarily iron and carbon); specific alloy unknown
Dyed Dragon Vein Agate
Silicon Dioxide (SiO2) with artificial pigment
Goldstone (aventurine glass)
Man-made copper-bearing glass; not a natural mineral (commonly sold as blue/brown goldstone)
Goldstone (with Tiger's Eye and Quartz)
Aventurine glass (Synthetic SiO2 with Cu inclusions)
Carved Mottled Greenish-Yellow Crystal/Glass Object
Unknown; possibly a form of quartz (chalcedony/jadeite/nephrite) or glass/resin.
Man-made Carved Stone (Scream Mask/Skull motif)
Carved Soapstone or Serpentine-rich rock
Man-made Synthetic Material (Not a rock or mineral)
Polyester (Polyethylene terephthalate) / Faux Fur
Man-made Synthetic Material (Costume Faux Fur)
Synthetic Polymer (Polyester/Acrylic)
Blue Sapphire (Synthetic or Man-made Glass Imitation)
Corundum (Al2O3) if natural; Lead-glass or Spinal if synthetic
Note: Item is a Synthetic/Man-made Object
Titanium-coated Stainless Steel (Fe-Cr-Ni-Ti)
Goldstone (likely red/brown aventurine glass)
Man-made aventurine glass; copper-bearing silicate glass (not a natural mineral)
Dyed or synthetic turquoise-blue glass-like specimen
Likely man-made colored glass or resin; exact identification requires testing
Blue goldstone
Man-made aventurine glass containing metallic copper particles; not a natural mineral
Likely polished quartz or glass-like mineral cabochon
Probably quartz (SiO₂), though the image cannot exclude man-made glass
Opalite (a synthetic glass, often confused with Opal)
Silicon dioxide glass (SiO2nH2O, for natural opal)
Blue glassy mineral specimen, possibly dyed or synthetic
Uncertain; possible blue fluorite (CaF₂), dyed chalcedony, or man-made glass
Polished blue calcite sphere (tentative identification)
Calcite, CaCO₃; blue color generally results from trace impurities or inclusions
N/A - Man-made object (Jewelry Chain)
Antiqued or Oxidized Metal Chain (often Steel or Brass)
Man-made Jewelry Charm (Enameled Metal)
Not a natural mineral; composed of base metal alloy (likely zinc or brass) and epoxy resin/enamel.
Cullet Glass (Man-made Glass Slag)
Amorphous Silica (SiO2) with chemical additives
Cobalt Glass Slug (Man-made Glass)
Amorphous Silica with Cobalt Oxide (SiO2 + CoO)
Man-made Metal Pin (Non-geological)
Antimony-Lead Alloy or Zinc/Brass Base with Electroplating
Red glassy cabochon, likely synthetic ruby or red glass
Uncertain; possible synthetic corundum (Al₂O₃, chromium-colored) or man-made glass
Tumbled opalite (likely synthetic glass)
Opalite; typically man-made opalescent soda-lime glass, not a recognized mineral species
Goldstone (Red/Brown)
Aventurine Glass (SiO2 with Copper inclusions)
Blue Chalcedony Cube
Silicon Dioxide (SiO2)
Jewelry Chain with Blue and Clear Gemstones (Likely Cubic Zirconia)
Cubic Zirconia (ZrO₂), Silver or White Gold/Platinum Alloy
Chalk
Micrite (primarily Calcium Carbonate, CaCO3)
Man-made Green Quartz (Lab-grown or Treated)
Silicon Dioxide (SiO2) with artificial coloration
Goldstone (blue/black aventurine glass)
Man-made aventurine glass; silica glass containing metallic copper or other glittering inclusions
Small clear crystal, possibly quartz or glass-like gemstone
Uncertain; likely quartz (SiO₂), but the image is insufficient to exclude man-made glass or cubic zirconia
Yellow cabochon gemstone, likely citrine or yellow glass imitation
Quartz (SiO₂), if natural citrine; visual evidence is insufficient to exclude man-made glass or resin
Polished green-and-black banded cabochon (likely malachite imitation or dyed agate)
Uncertain; possible malachite (Cu₂CO₃(OH)₂), banded agate (SiO₂), or man-made glass
Green glass cabochon or tumbled stone
Indeterminate; likely man-made glass, possibly aventurine glass rather than a natural mineral
Polished blue-green glassy slag or coated mineral fragment
Most likely man-made colored glass/slag; exact composition cannot be determined visually
Blue goldstone beads
Man-made aventurine glass (silica glass with metallic copper inclusions), not natural lapis lazuli
Chert
Chert (Microcrystalline Quartz)
Chalk
