Hematite bead bracelet
Hematite (iron(III) oxide, Fe₂O₃), likely polished specular hematite
Pink faceted gemstone, likely synthetic or treated quartz
Quartz, silicon dioxide (SiO₂); exact identity cannot be confirmed from the image
Artisanal Glass Beads (Simulated Goldstone or Aventurine Glass)
Silicon Dioxide (SiO2) with metallic inclusions
Synthetic Faux Fur Fursuit
Polyacrylonitrile / Polyester (Synthetic Textile)
Concrete Paver (Artificial Cementitious Rock)
Hydrated Portland Cement Aggregate
Ruby (Corundum)
Aluminum oxide (Al2O3) with Chromium traces
Dyed Agate Geode
Silicon Dioxide (SiO2) with artificial pigment
Labradorite cabochon
Labradorite, a calcium-rich plagioclase feldspar; approximately (Ca,Na)(Al,Si)₄O₈
Red cabochon gemstone ring, likely synthetic ruby or red glass
Possibly corundum (Al₂O₃, chromium-colored); identity cannot be confirmed from the image
Opalite (Synthetic Opalized Glass)
Synthetic Silicon Dioxide (SiO2) glass
Blue glass-like gemstone, likely synthetic spinel or glass
Uncertain; possibilities include synthetic cobalt-blue spinel (MgAl₂O₄) or cobalt-colored glass
Pink-red faceted gemstone, possibly synthetic corundum or spinel
Uncertain; possible ruby (corundum, Al₂O₃) or red spinel (MgAl₂O₄)
Black onyx or black obsidian bead bracelet
Likely chalcedony (microcrystalline quartz, SiO₂) if onyx; alternatively volcanic glass (obsidian)
Yellow faceted gemstone earrings, likely citrine or yellow beryl
Citrine: quartz, SiO₂; possible yellow beryl: Be₃Al₂Si₆O₁₈
Silicon
Element Si
Faceted colorless gemstone, likely quartz or glass imitation
Most plausibly rock crystal (quartz, SiO₂); identity is uncertain because the photograph shows only intense facet reflections
