Turquoise cabochon
Turquoise, hydrated copper aluminum phosphate — CuAl₆(PO₄)₄(OH)₈·4H₂O
Clear Quartz (Faceted) / White Sapphire / Goshenite
Silicon Dioxide (SiO2) / Aluminium Oxide (Al2O3)
Corundum (Pink Sapphire / Ruby)
Al2O3 (Aluminum Oxide)
Tumbled basalt
Basalt; fine-grained mafic volcanic rock, chiefly plagioclase and pyroxene with possible olivine and magnetite

Hydrocarbon wax blend with colorant (imitating Lapis Lazuli/Emerald)
Polished tiger’s-eye
Quartz variety, SiO₂, with crocidolite-derived iron inclusions
Faceted clear gemstone, likely quartz or glass imitation
Most likely quartz (SiO₂); exact identification requires refractive-index and hardness tests
Red faceted gemstone jewelry setting
Likely synthetic ruby or red spinel centerpiece with colorless accent stones; exact identification requires gemological testing
Aquamarine in Onyx / Blue Topaz Pendant
Beryl (Be₃Al₂Si₆O₁₈) or Topaz (Al₂SiO₄(F,OH)₂)
Hematite cameo or hematine imitation
Hematite (Fe₂O₃); possibly synthetic hematine or black glass
