Red faceted gemstone, likely synthetic ruby
Corundum (Al₂O₃), chromium-colored; possibly flame-fusion synthetic ruby
Blue-green turquoise (probable)
Turquoise, hydrous copper aluminum phosphate — CuAl₆(PO₄)₄(OH)₈·4H₂O
White Opal
Hydrated Amorphous Silica (SiO2·nH2O)
Ruby ring
Corundum (Al₂O₃), red variety colored mainly by chromium
Red garnet cabochon-style earrings
Likely almandine garnet (Fe₃Al₂(SiO₄)₃); the image alone cannot confirm the stone or whether it is natural or synthetic.
Blue Agate Geode (Dyed)
Cryptocrystalline Quartz (SiO2)
Faceted colored gemstones, likely synthetic corundum or glass imitations
Not identifiable from the image; possible synthetic corundum (Al₂O₃)
Red cabochon gemstone ring (likely glass or synthetic stone)
Undetermined; the image does not establish a natural mineral identity
Goldstone (with Tiger's Eye and Quartz)
Aventurine glass (Synthetic SiO2 with Cu inclusions)
Concrete-like aggregate surface with embedded rock fragments
Anthropogenic concrete or exposed aggregate; not a natural rock specimen
Red gemstone ring, possibly synthetic ruby or red glass
Unidentified red stone; ruby is corundum (Al₂O₃), but the image cannot confirm its identity
Opalite Egg
Synthetic Glass (Simulated Opal)
Small clear crystal, possibly quartz or glass-like gemstone
Uncertain; likely quartz (SiO₂), but the image is insufficient to exclude man-made glass or cubic zirconia
Pink corundum (likely synthetic or treated sapphire)
Corundum, Al₂O₃; pink coloration commonly from chromium or treatment
Red gemstone ring, likely synthetic ruby or red glass
Unidentified red faceted stone; ruby is corundum (Al₂O₃)
Gemstone jewelry ensemble
Likely mixed gemstone and glass-bead jewelry; exact stones cannot be determined from the image
Goldstone (likely blue-free synthetic goldstone pendant)
Synthetic aventurine glass; silica glass with dispersed metallic copper crystals
Pink/red faceted gemstone, likely synthetic corundum or glass imitation
Corundum (Al₂O₃), ruby/sapphire variety; exact identification requires testing
Clear Quartz (faceted) / Diamond Simulant
Silicon Dioxide (SiO2) / Cubic Zirconia (ZrO2)
Faceted blue gemstone, likely blue topaz or synthetic spinel
Topaz (Al₂SiO₄(F,OH)₂) or synthetic spinel (MgAl₂O₄); image insufficient for certainty
Parti Sapphire
Corundum (Al2O3)
Emerald
Beryl (Be3Al2(SiO3)6)
Pink-purple faceted gemstone ring (likely garnet)
Likely almandine–pyrope garnet, (Fe,Mg)₃Al₂(SiO₄)₃; identification from the image is uncertain.
Blue faceted gemstone ring, likely synthetic sapphire or blue topaz
Uncertain from image; possible corundum (Al₂O₃) or topaz (Al₂SiO₄(F,OH)₂)
Faceted transparent gemstone pendant
Likely cubic zirconia (zirconium dioxide, ZrO₂); possibly diamond or synthetic moissanite
Faceted gemstones, likely assorted quartz or glass-like gems
Not determinable from the photograph; possible quartz (SiO₂), topaz, or synthetic cubic zirconia
Green faceted gemstone, likely synthetic glass or chrome-dyed stone
Undetermined; possibilities include green tourmaline, synthetic emerald, glass, or dyed quartz
Opalite
Synthetic glass / Simulated opal
Black polished stone beads, likely black onyx or agate
Likely chalcedony (microcrystalline quartz, SiO₂); exact material cannot be confirmed from the image
Black faceted gemstone, possibly black spinel or onyx
Undetermined; candidates include spinel (MgAl₂O₄) or chalcedony (SiO₂)
Iridescent polished gemstone, likely opal
Common or precious opal (hydrated amorphous silica, SiO₂·nH₂O), possibly synthetic or glass imitation
Smoky Quartz
Silicon Dioxide (SiO2)
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).
Green glassy gemstone-like specimen
Likely synthetic glass or treated quartz; exact identification requires testing
Pink faceted gemstone, possibly pink sapphire
Uncertain from the image; possibly corundum (Al₂O₃)
Diamond (mounted in an ornate ring)
Diamond, crystalline carbon (C)
Blue Obsidian
Volcanic Glass (Amorphous)
Red cut gemstone, likely synthetic ruby
Corundum (Al₂O₃); possibly lab-grown ruby or red glass imitation
Dyed Agate
Silicon Dioxide (SiO2) - variety Chalcedony
Ruby (Faceted)
Corundum (Al2O3:Cr)
Faceted clear gemstone in a gold-tone ring
Likely colorless quartz (SiO₂); the image does not establish the stone identity, and glass or another gem is possible
Opalite
Synthetic Glass (SiO2 + impurities)
