Jewelry Chain with Blue and Clear Gemstones (Likely Cubic Zirconia)
Cubic Zirconia (ZrO₂), Silver or White Gold/Platinum Alloy
Blue glassy cabochon, likely blue quartz or synthetic glass
Possibly dyed blue chalcedony/quartz (SiO₂); visual identification is inconclusive
Raw Topaz
Aluminum Silicate Fluoride Hydroxide, Al2SiO4(F,OH)2
Lapis Lazuli
Lapis Lazuli (a rock composed primarily of Lazurite, Sodalite, Calcite, and Pyrite)
Dyed Agate
Agate (Cryptocrystalline Quartz), SiO2
Ruby
Corundum (Al2O3)
Chalcanthite (Likely Synthetic/Lab-Grown)
Hydrated copper(II) sulfate (CuSO4·5H2O)
Sapphire (likely blue synthetic sapphire or blue glass in a ring)
Corundum (Al₂O₃), specifically the blue variety due to trace amounts of iron and titanium impurities. If synthetic, it would still be Al₂O₃.
Diamond (faceted)
Diamond (Pure Carbon, C)
Rutilated Quartz
SiO2 with TiO2 inclusions (Rutile)
Ruby
Corundum (Al2O3 with Chromium traces)
Black rectangular gemstone pendant, likely obsidian or black glass imitation
Most plausibly black obsidian (volcanic glass; SiO₂-rich), though the image cannot exclude synthetic glass or black onyx
Colorless faceted gemstone (most likely synthetic cubic zirconia)
Cubic zirconia, ZrO₂ (likely synthetic); natural alternatives include quartz or diamond
Engineered Quartz
Silicon dioxide composite
Black Tourmaline
Schorl (Na(Fe²⁺)₃Al₆(OH)₄(BO₃)₃Si₆O₁₈)
Amethyst
Amethyst (SiO2 - Silicon Dioxide with iron impurities)
3D Printed PLA Elephant (Silk Multi-color)
Polylactic Acid (C3H4O2)n
Amber
Succinite (C10H16O)
Blue quartz (likely dyed or synthetic-treated quartz beads)
Quartz, silicon dioxide (SiO₂)
Textile (Upholstery Fabric)
Woven Polyethylene/Polyester or Cotton Blend
Rough Diamond (Uncut Diamond)
Native Carbon (C)
Rhinestone (or glass crystal)
Silicon dioxide (if glass) / Various
Goldstone (aventurine glass)
Synthetic copper-bearing soda-lime glass; commonly sold as red goldstone
Gemstone-set ring, likely cubic zirconia or diamond
Likely synthetic cubic zirconia (zirconium dioxide, ZrO₂); stones may alternatively be diamond (carbon, C)
Green glassy mineral specimen, likely rough emerald or green fluorite
Tentatively beryl (Be₃Al₂Si₆O₁₈), emerald variety; synthetic/man-made glass cannot be excluded from the photograph
Cubic Zirconia (CZ)
Cubic Zirconium Dioxide (ZrO2)
Cubic Zirconia (CZ)
Cubic Zirconium Dioxide (ZrO2)
Cut colorless gemstone, likely quartz or glass imitation
Most plausibly rock crystal (clear quartz, SiO₂); synthetic glass cannot be ruled out from the image
White chalcedony (possibly milky quartz) cabochon
Chalcedony, microcrystalline SiO₂; appearance may also represent milky quartz or synthetic imitation
Clear faceted gemstone in a gold-colored setting
Likely colorless quartz (rock crystal) or synthetic cubic zirconia; visual identification is inconclusive
Turquoise
Hydrated phosphate of copper and aluminium [CuAl6(PO4)4(OH)8·4H2O]
Ornamental ring with likely blue sapphire and diamonds
Blue corundum (sapphire), Al₂O₃; surrounding stones appear diamond, C, set in gold-colored metal
Amber
Succinite (specifically for Baltic amber; general formula C10H16O)
Yellow-orange amber
Fossilized tree resin; amber is an organic mineraloid, not a true mineral
Corundum
Corundum (Al2O3)
Emerald
Beryl (Be3Al2Si6O18), specifically the green variety colored by chromium or vanadium
Azurite-Malachite (often a mixed specimen)
Azurite: Cu3(CO3)2(OH)2; Malachite: Cu2(CO3)(OH)2. The specimen appears to be a natural mixture or intergrowth of these two minerals.
Jade bangle
Likely nephrite jade (fibrous amphibole, Ca₂(Mg,Fe)₅Si₈O₂₂(OH)₂); possibly jadeite (NaAlSi₂O₆)
Amber
Succinate (Fossilized Tree Resin)
Diamond (Rough)
Diamond (Carbon, C)
Lapis Lazuli
Lapis Lazuli (a rock composed primarily of Lazurite (Na,Ca)₈[(S,Cl,SO₄,OH)₂|(Al₆Si₆O₂₄)], with varying amounts of Calcite, Pyrite, and Sodalite.)
Opal
Hydrous silicon dioxide (SiO2·nH2O)
