Opalite
Synthetic glass (SiO2 + impurities)
Tumbled chalcedony (likely pale agate or common opal)
Microcrystalline quartz, SiO₂; possibly hydrated silica, SiO₂·nH₂O, if opal
Tumbled hematite-rich ironstone
Hematite (Fe₂O₃), likely mixed with magnetite and iron-bearing silicates
Dyed Howlite (Purple)
Calcium Borosilicate Hydroxide (Ca2B5SiO9(OH)5)
Hematite (Oolitic or Earthy variety)

Gemstone ring (stones not identifiable from image)
Unknown; the ring appears to contain two yellow stones and one colorless stone, possibly faceted gemstones or simulants
Gemstone rings (stones not reliably identifiable)
The pale stone may be quartz or another translucent gem; the red stone may be ruby, garnet, or synthetic corundum. Image detail is insufficient for identification.
Milky Quartz
Silicon Dioxide (SiO2)
Opalite
Synthetic Opalite Glass / Opalized Glass
Blue cabochon gemstone ring
Uncertain; likely blue sapphire (corundum, Al₂O₃), blue topaz, or synthetic glass/spinel
Red gemstone ring, likely ruby or synthetic ruby
Corundum (Al₂O₃), chromium-colored; the image alone cannot confirm whether it is natural or synthetic
Faceted Gemstones (Mixed)
Various (e.g., Corundum, Beryl, Quartz, or synthetic equivalents)

Graphitic schist; chiefly graphite (C), quartz (SiO₂), and mica minerals
Iron-rich concretion or weathered ironstone
Goethite–hematite-bearing ferruginous concretion; exact identification requires testing
Hematite
