Diamond
Diamond (C)
Yellow-orange faceted gemstone, likely citrine or yellow topaz
Citrine: quartz, SiO₂; yellow topaz: Al₂SiO₄(F,OH)₂
Faceted citrine-colored gemstone
Likely citrine (quartz, SiO₂); possibly yellow glass or synthetic gem
Tumbled amethyst
Amethyst, purple quartz (SiO₂)
Blue glassy mineral specimen, possibly blue topaz or aquamarine
Tentatively topaz (Al₂SiO₄(F,OH)₂) or beryl/aquamarine (Be₃Al₂Si₆O₁₈); identification is limited by severe image blur
Ruby
Corundum (Al2O3 with Chromium trace)
Diamond
Native Carbon (C)
Rough White Zircon
Zircon (Zirconium Silicate, ZrSiO4)
Diamond (Faceted)
Carbon (C)
Goldstone
Aventurine glass
Limonite Ironstone
Goethite-Limonite concretion / Iron oxide
Ruby (Corundum)
Aluminum oxide (Al2O3) with Chromium traces
Pink amethyst or pale pink quartz gemstone
Quartz, SiO₂; pink coloration may result from microscopic inclusions or irradiation-related defects
Cubic Zirconia
Zirconium Dioxide (ZrO2)
Blue cabochon gemstone ring
Likely blue turquoise, glass-filled sapphire, or blue spinel; exact identification requires testing
Gemstone-set silver jewelry piece
Likely mixed faceted gemstones in a silver-colored metal setting; stones may include sapphire, ruby/garnet, and yellow sapphire or citrine, but the image is insufficient for species-level identification.
Silicon Carbide (Carborundum)
Silicon Carbide (SiC)
Blue Sapphire
Corundum (Al2O3)
Opalite
Synthetic Glass (typically Silica/Magnesium based with metal additives)
Ruby (in jewelry)
Corundum (Al2O3 with Chromium traces)
Turquoise
Hydrated copper aluminum phosphate, CuAl₆(PO₄)₄(OH)₈·4H₂O
Clear Quartz crystals on a Matrix base (Geode fragment)
Silicon Dioxide (SiO2)
Red garnet crystal (possible almandine)
Garnet group; likely almandine, Fe₃Al₂(SiO₄)₃
Asphalt / Road Aggregate
Bituminous Conglomerate (synthetic)
Staurolite (Cross Stone)
Staurolite (Fe2+2Al9Si4O23(OH))
Fursuit (Synthetic Fur Specimen)
Canis anthropomorphus syntheticus
Faceted colorless gemstone, likely cubic zirconia or quartz
Uncertain from photograph; cubic zirconia (ZrO₂) is the leading visual possibility, with quartz (SiO₂) as an alternative
White Sapphire
Corundum (Al2O3)
Emerald
Beryl (Be3Al2(SiO3)6) with Chromium/Vanadium impurities
Limonite
FeO(OH)·n(H2O)
Limonite Nugget
Limonite (Hydrated iron oxide-hydroxide, FeO(OH)·nH2O)
Dyed Blue Agate
Silicon Dioxide (SiO2) - Microcrystalline Quartz
Obsidian
Obsidian (Volcanic Glass) SiO2 (70% or more)
Limonite with Pyrite
Hydrated Iron Oxide Hydroxide, FeO(OH)·nH2O
Limonite or Ironstone Nodule
Hydrated iron oxide-hydroxide (FeO(OH)·nH2O)
Faceted blue gemstone, likely aquamarine
Aquamarine—blue beryl, Be₃Al₂Si₆O₁₈; identification is uncertain from the image alone
Carved labradorite fish
Labradorite, calcium-rich plagioclase feldspar (approximately (Ca,Na)(Al,Si)₄O₈)
Asphalt (Road Aggregate)
Asphalt concrete / Bituminous mixture
Opal (in Jewelry Setting)
Hydrated Silicon Dioxide (SiO2·nH2O)
Faceted gemstone ring, likely smoky quartz or garnet in a metal setting
Not determinable from the photograph; possible quartz (SiO₂) or garnet-group silicate
Oak-grain Laminate (Industrial/Decorative Furniture Finish)
Melamine Resin-impregnated Decorative Paper on Particleboard (Cellulose/Thermosetting Plastic)
Coal (Bituminous or Anthracite)
Carbonaceous Sedimentary Rock
