Raw Topaz
Aluminum Silicate Fluoride Hydroxide, Al2SiO4(F,OH)2
Lapis Lazuli
Lapis Lazuli (a rock composed primarily of Lazurite, Sodalite, Calcite, and Pyrite)
Ruby
Corundum (Al2O3)
Dyed Agate
Agate (Cryptocrystalline Quartz), SiO2
Diamond (faceted)
Diamond (Pure Carbon, C)
ABS Plastic (Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene)
(C8H8)x·(C4H6)y·(C3H3N)z
Clear gemstone earring (likely cubic zirconia)
Cubic zirconia (synthetic zirconium dioxide, ZrO₂); identification from the image is uncertain
Polished blue chalcedony or glass-like quartz specimen
Chalcedony (microcrystalline SiO₂), possibly treated or synthetic; exact identification requires testing
Colorless faceted gemstone (most likely synthetic cubic zirconia)
Cubic zirconia, ZrO₂ (likely synthetic); natural alternatives include quartz or diamond
Ruby
Corundum (Al2O3 with Chromium traces)
Goldstone (Red/Brown)
Aventurine Glass (SiO2 with Copper inclusions)
Amethyst
Amethyst (SiO2 - Silicon Dioxide with iron impurities)
Amber (likely opaque/burnished amber)
Fossilized plant resin; primarily polymerized terpenoid resin (succinite-type amber)
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.
Cubic Zirconia (CZ) Jewelry
Zirconium dioxide (ZrO2)
Apatite
Apatite group mineral (e.g., Fluorapatite - Ca5(PO4)3F, Chlorapatite - Ca5(PO4)3Cl, Hydroxylapatite - Ca5(PO4)3(OH))
Goldstone (aventurine glass)
Synthetic copper-bearing soda-lime glass; commonly sold as red goldstone
Rough Diamond (Uncut Diamond)
Native Carbon (C)
Faceted yellow gemstone ring
Likely yellow sapphire (corundum), but exact identification requires testing; alternatives include citrine, chrysoberyl, or treated diamond.

Zirconium Dioxide (ZrO2)
White chalcedony (possibly milky quartz) cabochon
Chalcedony, microcrystalline SiO₂; appearance may also represent milky quartz or synthetic imitation
Clear faceted gemstone in a gold-colored setting
Likely colorless quartz (rock crystal) or synthetic cubic zirconia; visual identification is inconclusive
Turquoise
Hydrated phosphate of copper and aluminium [CuAl6(PO4)4(OH)8·4H2O]

Emerald
Beryl (Be3Al2Si6O18), specifically the green variety colored by chromium or vanadium
Faceted colorless gemstone, likely cubic zirconia or diamond
Most likely synthetic cubic zirconia (ZrO₂); diamond (C) is a less certain alternative
Pearl-embellished decorative cross
Pearl (biogenic calcium carbonate, predominantly aragonite) with rhinestone-mounted glass or synthetic gemstones
Diamond (appearing as a jewelry centerpiece)
Diamond (Formula: C)
Lapis Lazuli
Lapis Lazuli (a rock composed primarily of Lazurite (Na,Ca)₈[(S,Cl,SO₄,OH)₂|(Al₆Si₆O₂₄)], with varying amounts of Calcite, Pyrite, and Sodalite.)
Gemstone butterfly brooch/pendant
Likely faceted pink tourmaline or synthetic spinel in gilt metal; exact identification requires testing

Faceted yellow-brown gemstone earring
Likely citrine (quartz, SiO₂), though treated quartz or synthetic glass cannot be confirmed from the image
Wood Beads (Palmwood/Ebony)
Various species for wood, but often refers to woods like Palmwood (e.g., Borassus flabellifer) or Ebony (Diospyros spp.) for their distinctive grain and hardness.
