Silicon Dioxide (SiO2) with synthetic dye
Ruby
Corundum (Al2O3 with Chromium traces)
Red cabochon ring, likely ruby or synthetic ruby
Corundum (Al₂O₃), possibly chromium-bearing ruby; the image cannot establish whether it is natural or synthetic
Hematite bead strand
Hematite, α-Fe₂O₃ (iron(III) oxide)
Faceted citrine-colored gemstone (likely synthetic/display stone)
Quartz, SiO₂, if natural citrine; possibly synthetic sapphire or glass imitation
Carborundum (Silicon Carbide)
Silicon carbide (SiC)
Clear quartz crystal sphere
Quartz (silicon dioxide, SiO₂)
Blue Sapphire
Corundum (Al2O3)
Cubic Zirconia (CZ)
Cubic Zirconium Dioxide (ZrO2)
Cat's Eye Moonstone (Simulated/Synthetic or natural Cat's Eye Quartz/Glass)
There is no single scientific name. The appearance suggests either: Moonstone (feldspar group), Cat's Eye Quartz (SiO2), Apatite (Ca5(PO4)3(F,Cl,OH)), or most likely a synthetic material such as Fiber Optic Glass or 'Opalite' (a type of glass).
Dyed Agate
Silicon Dioxide (SiO2) - variety Chalcedony
Pink corundum (likely synthetic or treated sapphire)
Corundum, Al₂O₃; pink coloration commonly from chromium or treatment
Colorless Gemstone (possibly Diamond or Cubic Zirconia)
C (Diamond) or ZrO2 (Cubic Zirconia)
Pearl and Garnet Glass
Calcium Carbonate (CaCO3) for pearl; Silicon Dioxide (SiO2) for glass
Colorless faceted gemstone (likely cubic zirconia)
Cubic zirconia, ZrO₂ (synthetic zirconium dioxide); possibly synthetic glass or lab-grown diamond
Amber
Succinite (Fossilized Tree Resin)
Amber (Copal)
Succinate (Fossilized Resin)
Faceted color-change gemstone, likely synthetic alexandrite or glass imitation
Alexandrite: chrysoberyl, BeAl₂O₄; exact identification requires gemological testing
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
Likely amber or amber-like resin fragment
Amber (fossilized plant resin), commonly succinite; identification uncertain from the image
Yellow amber
Amber; fossilized plant resin, commonly succinite (not a mineral)
Amber
Amber (Fossilized Tree Resin)
Pink-red faceted gemstone, possibly synthetic corundum or spinel
Uncertain; possible ruby (corundum, Al₂O₃) or red spinel (MgAl₂O₄)
Red corundum (ruby) crystal fragment
Corundum, Al₂O₃; ruby is red corundum colored mainly by chromium
Red Agate (Carnelian)
Silicon Dioxide (SiO2)
Carnelian
Carnelian (Cryptocrystalline Quartz, SiO2)
Hematite
Iron(III) oxide (Fe2O3)
Blue faceted gemstone, likely synthetic sapphire or blue spinel
Corundum (Al₂O₃) if sapphire; alternatively magnesium aluminate spinel (MgAl₂O₄)
Mother of Pearl (Nacre)
Aragonite (layered with organic polymers), CaCO3
Red synthetic corundum (ruby-colored lab-grown sapphire)
Corundum, aluminum oxide (Al₂O₃), likely synthetic and chromium-colored
Gemstone stud earrings, likely set with clear stones
The stones may be diamond (carbon, C) or colorless cubic zirconia (ZrO₂); the image is insufficient to distinguish them.

Zirconium Dioxide (ZrO2)
Diamond (or Cubic Zirconia)
Carbon (C) or Zirconium Dioxide (ZrO2)
Ruby
Corundum (Al2O3)
