Ferruginous Conglomerate (or Iron-Rich Concrete/Slag)
Clastic Sedimentary (Silicon Dioxide/Iron Oxide matrix)
Sandstone (with man-made markings)
Arenite (composed primarily of Quartz, SiO2)
Pink/red faceted gemstone, likely synthetic ruby or pink sapphire

Blue cabochon gemstone, likely sapphire
Corundum (Al₂O₃), blue variety colored mainly by iron and titanium
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).
Ruby (in costume jewelry context)
Corundum (Al2O3) with Chromium impurities
Blue slag glass or dyed glass-like industrial material
Amorphous silicate glass; likely copper-bearing blue slag, but possibly colored man-made glass
