Corundum (Al2O3) if natural; Lead-glass or Spinal if synthetic
Carved Mottled Greenish-Yellow Crystal/Glass Object
Unknown; possibly a form of quartz (chalcedony/jadeite/nephrite) or glass/resin.
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
