Indeterminate from the image; possible violet sapphire (corundum, Al₂O₃), amethyst (quartz, SiO₂), or glass/another simulant
Sapphire (Blue)
Corundum (Al2O3)
Smoky Quartz
Smoky Quartz (Silicon Dioxide - SiO2)
Small stud earring with a purple gemstone (possibly amethyst)
Possible amethyst, a purple variety of quartz (SiO₂); identification is uncertain from the image
Blue resin-coated or dyed stone cabochon
Likely dyed chalcedony/agate (microcrystalline quartz, SiO₂); exact material is uncertain from the image
Blue Goldstone
Aventurine Glass
Blue Goldstone
Synthetic Aventurescent Glass (Cobalt-doped soda-lime glass)
Red glassy cabochon, likely synthetic ruby or red glass
Uncertain; possible synthetic corundum (Al₂O₃, chromium-colored) or man-made glass
