Goldstone
Aventurine glass (Synthetic glass with copper inclusions)
Opalite
Synthetic Opalized Glass
Opalite
Man-made Opalized Glass (Synthetic Glass)
Yellow faceted gemstone, likely citrine or yellow beryl
Quartz (SiO₂), if citrine; beryl (Be₃Al₂Si₆O₁₈), if heliodor
Opalite
Synthetic Glass / Man-made Opal Simulant
Blue Goldstone
Synthetic glass with copper or cobalt/manganese inclusions
Blue Goldstone
Auraventurine (Synthetic glass with cobalt and copper inclusions)
Opalite
Synthetic Glass, SiO2 base with metallic inclusions
Blue-violet faceted gemstone, likely amethyst
Quartz (SiO₂), purple variety colored mainly by iron impurities and irradiation
Colorless faceted gemstones, likely quartz (rock crystal)
Quartz, silicon dioxide (SiO₂), trigonal crystal system
Rock Crystal (Clear Quartz)
Silicon dioxide (SiO2)
Opalite (Man-made Glass)
Synthetic Opalised Glass
Blue Goldstone
Aventurine Glass
Strawberry Quartz (Hematoid Quartz)
Silicon Dioxide with Iron Oxide inclusions (SiO2 + Fe2O3)
Goldstone
Aventurine Glass (SiO2 + Cu small inclusions)
Pink amethyst or pale pink quartz gemstone
Quartz, SiO₂; pink coloration may result from microscopic inclusions or irradiation-related defects
Pink corundum (likely synthetic or treated sapphire)
Corundum, Al₂O₃; pink coloration commonly from chromium or treatment
Champagne topaz (likely)
Topaz, Al₂SiO₄(F,OH)₂
Faceted colorless gemstone, likely quartz (rock crystal)
Quartz, SiO₂
Polished blue-black cabochon, likely blue obsidian or dyed glass-like stone
Indeterminate from image; possible natural obsidian (volcanic glass), commonly SiO₂-rich rhyolitic glass
Green Aventurine
Quartz with fuchsite inclusions (SiO2)
Green Glass (often marketed as 'Obsidian' or 'Green Quartz')
Amorphous Silica (SiO2) with copper or chromium additives
Opalite
Synthetic Glass (Hydrated Crystalline Silicon Dioxide simulation)
Opalite
Synthetically produced glass (Silicon Dioxide with metallic inclusions)
Blue Goldstone
Aventurine Glass
Pearl (Imitation / Cultured Pearl)
Calcium carbonate (CaCO3) with conchiolin (or synthetic glass/plastic imitation)
Opalite
Synthetic Opalized Glass / Man-made Glass
Faceted clear gemstone, likely quartz (rock crystal)
Quartz, silicon dioxide (SiO₂); exact identity is uncertain because the strong flash and cut obscure diagnostic features
Tumbled green beryl or glassy green gemstone
Likely beryl, Be₃Al₂Si₆O₁₈; possibly treated emerald or synthetic glass
Opalite (likely man-made opalescent glass)
Opalite; not a true mineral, typically synthetic opalescent glass (silica-based)
Goldstone (Brown)
Aventurine glass
Diamond
Natural Diamond (Carbon, C)
Opalite
Synthetic Glass (typically Silica/Magnesium based with metal additives)
Blue resin-coated or dyed stone cabochon
Likely dyed chalcedony/agate (microcrystalline quartz, SiO₂); exact material is uncertain from the image
Opalite
Man-made Synthetic Glass (Silicon Dioxide with metal additives)
Faceted quartz crystal sphere (likely rock crystal)
Quartz, silicon dioxide (SiO₂)
Opalite (Synthetic Moonstone/Opal)
Synthetic Silica Glass
Red glassy mineral specimen, likely synthetic ruby or red spinel
Most consistent with synthetic corundum (Al₂O₃, ruby) or synthetic spinel (MgAl₂O₄); exact identification requires testing
Goldstone (Red)
Aventurine Glass
Blue-green faceted pendant stone
Undetermined; possibly synthetic glass or a blue-green gemstone such as topaz or quartz
Strawberry Quartz
Silicon Dioxide with Hematite inclusions (SiO2 + Fe2O3)
Faceted yellow gemstone (possibly citrine or synthetic glass)
Undetermined; citrine is yellow quartz (SiO₂), but the image cannot confirm the material
