Dyed Agate
Silicon Dioxide (SiO2) with synthetic dyes
Silicon Carbide (Carborundum)
Moissanite (SiC), though mostly synthetic
Ruby (rough or poorly polished corundum)
Corundum, Al₂O₃; red gem-quality corundum is ruby
Blue sapphire (rough corundum)
Corundum, Al₂O₃; blue color commonly from trace iron and titanium
Colorless cut gemstone, likely white sapphire
Corundum (Al₂O₃), tentatively identified; the image alone cannot confirm the stone
Blue cabochon ring stone, likely sapphire or synthetic blue corundum
Corundum (Al₂O₃), possibly chromium/iron-titanium-bearing sapphire
Corundum (Pink Sapphire / Ruby)
Al2O3 (Aluminum Oxide)
Emerald-and-diamond ring
Emerald: beryl, Be₃Al₂(SiO₃)₆, colored by chromium and/or vanadium; surrounding stones appear to be diamonds: carbon
Yellow faceted gemstone, likely citrine or yellow beryl
Quartz (SiO₂), if citrine; beryl (Be₃Al₂Si₆O₁₈), if heliodor
Lapis Lazuli
Lazurite-dominated metamorphic rock ((Na,Ca)8(AlSiO4)6(SO4,S,Cl)2)
Costume Jewelry Gemstones (Emerald-imitation and semi-precious beads)
BeCuAl6Si6O18 (Beryl structure), frequently simulated by glass or synthetic spinel
Bouncy Ball (Synthetic Rubber Polymer)
Polybutadiene / Ethylene Vinyl Acetate (EVA)
Synthetic opal cabochon/bead
Opal-like hydrated amorphous silica; likely lab-created polymer–silica opal or Gilson synthetic opal (SiO₂·nH₂O)
Diamond (or Clear Quartz / Cubic Zirconia)
Carbon (C) or Silicon Dioxide (SiO2) / Cubic Zirconia (ZrO2)
Iron-stained quartz pebble
Quartz (SiO₂), likely limonite/goethite-stained
Iron-rich sandstone (Gozan/Ironstone)
Ferruginous Sandstone (clastic sedimentary rock)
Likely specular hematite
Hematite (Fe₂O₃), probably a micaceous/specular variety
Tumbled white quartz
Quartz (silicon dioxide, SiO₂)
Faceted red gemstone, likely ruby
Corundum (Al₂O₃), colored red by chromium; identity cannot be confirmed from the image alone
Oil Shale
Kerogen-rich marlstone
Likely blue sapphire ring
Corundum (Al₂O₃), likely sapphire; surrounding stones may be diamonds or colored gems
Milky Quartz
Silicon Dioxide (SiO2)
Red glass-like crystal, likely synthetic ruby or red glass
Uncertain from image; possible corundum (ruby), Al₂O₃, or synthetic glass
Mixed tumbled stones, likely rose quartz and purple quartz/amethyst
Quartz (SiO₂), including amethyst and probable rose quartz; exact identification is uncertain from the blurred image
Blue gemstone ring, likely synthetic or natural blue topaz
Topaz, Al₂SiO₄(F,OH)₂ (visual identification uncertain)
Likely iron-rich meteorite or hematite-rich rock
Uncertain; possible iron meteorite (Fe–Ni alloy) or limonite/goethite-bearing hematite
Unidentified rounded mineral/rock fragment
Indeterminate; likely a weathered quartz-rich stone or iron-stained granite fragment
Small rounded pebble, likely weathered sandstone or iron-stained sedimentary rock
Indeterminate; probable quartz-rich sandstone (SiO₂ with clay/iron-oxide cement)
