Citrine
Citrine (Silicon Dioxide, SiO2)
Faceted colorless gemstone, likely quartz (rock crystal)
Quartz, SiO₂
Goldstone
Aventurine glass
Tumbled amethyst
Amethyst, purple quartz (SiO₂)
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.
Cut purple gemstone, likely synthetic cubic zirconia or glass
Undetermined; possible cubic zirconia (ZrO₂)
Amber-set ring
Amber (fossilized plant resin; organic mineraloid), set in a metal ring
Ruby
Corundum (Al2O3 with Chromium traces)
Ruby (set in a ring; possibly synthetic or imitation)
Corundum, Al₂O₃; red color is typically caused by chromium
Pink-purple faceted gemstone ring (likely garnet)
Likely almandine–pyrope garnet, (Fe,Mg)₃Al₂(SiO₄)₃; identification from the image is uncertain.
Dyed Quartz Pendant
Silicon Dioxide (SiO2) with artificial dye
Blue glass-like bead or gemstone keychain ornament
Indeterminate; likely cobalt-blue glass or synthetic blue spinel, not identifiable as a natural mineral from the image
Green iridescent glass cabochon or synthetic gemstone
Likely synthetic glass; possibly coated synthetic quartz or lab-created green gemstone
Blue Topaz
Topaz [Al2SiO4(F,OH)2]
Amber (and Cubic Zirconia)
Fossilized Tree Resin
Cubic Zirconia (Faceted)
Zirconium dioxide (ZrO2)
Pearl (Imitation / Cultured Pearl)
Calcium carbonate (CaCO3) with conchiolin (or synthetic glass/plastic imitation)
Clear quartz crystal sphere
Quartz (silicon dioxide, SiO₂)
Opalite
Synthetic Glass, SiO2 base with metallic inclusions
Crackled Quartz (Dyed)
Silicon Dioxide (SiO2)
Smoky Quartz
SiO2 (Silicon Dioxide)
Blue-violet faceted gemstone, likely amethyst
Quartz (SiO₂), purple variety colored mainly by iron impurities and irradiation
Opalite (Man-made Glass)
Synthetic Silicon Dioxide Glass (SiO2 + metal oxides)
Colorless faceted gemstone (likely cubic zirconia)
Cubic zirconia, ZrO₂ (synthetic zirconium dioxide); possibly synthetic glass or lab-grown diamond
Strawberry Quartz (or Rose Quartz / Cherry Quartz)
Silicon Dioxide (SiO2) with Lepidocrocite, Hematite, or Goethite inclusions
Blue Goldstone
Aventurine Glass (SiO2 with Cobalt/Copper inclusions)
Polished pink corundum (likely treated ruby)
Corundum, aluminum oxide (Al₂O₃); ruby when red-to-pink from chromium
Goldstone
Man-made glass infused with copper crystals
Decorative gemstone bracelet or jewelry
Unidentifiable from the blurred image; likely colored glass or synthetic stones, possibly mixed gemstone beads
Pearl and Garnet Glass
Calcium Carbonate (CaCO3) for pearl; Silicon Dioxide (SiO2) for glass
Blue glass-like gemstone, likely synthetic spinel or glass
Uncertain; possibilities include synthetic cobalt-blue spinel (MgAl₂O₄) or cobalt-colored glass
Zirconia (Ceramic) & Ion-X Glass
Zirconium Dioxide (ZrO2) and Ion-strengthened Aluminosilicate Glass
Man-made Glass (Tumbled/Shaped)
Amorphous Silicon Dioxide (SiO2) with metal oxide colorants
Blue Sapphire
Corundum (Al2O3 with Cr, Fe, and Ti trace elements)
Likely blue glass or synthetic gemstone jewelry
Uncertain; possibly synthetic spinel, cubic zirconia, or blue glass
Faceted transparent gemstone, likely glass or cubic zirconia
Uncertain from image; possible cubic zirconia (zirconium dioxide, ZrO₂) or glass imitation
Ruby (Faceted)
Corundum (Al2O3:Cr)
Bismuth
Bismuth (Bi)
