Zirconium dioxide (ZrO2)
Anthropogenic Heat Source (Electronic/Industrial Interface)
Thermal IR emission (Electronic infrastructure)
Cubic Zirconia
Zirconium Dioxide (ZrO2)
Blue Sapphire (Synthetic or Man-made Glass Imitation)

Cat's Eye Moonstone (Simulated/Synthetic or natural Cat's Eye Quartz/Glass)
There is no single scientific name. The appearance suggests either: Moonstone (feldspar group), Cat's Eye Quartz (SiO2), Apatite (Ca5(PO4)3(F,Cl,OH)), or most likely a synthetic material such as Fiber Optic Glass or 'Opalite' (a type of glass).
