Metallic Ornament / Jewelry
N/A - This is an artificial object, not a geological specimen.
Not a rock, mineral, or geological specimen
Not a geological specimen
N/A (man-made object)
Unidentified gray metallic object
Not determinable from the image; likely a metal screw or manufactured fastener rather than geological material
Ring with an Orange Inlay
N/A (Man-made object)
Weathered concrete or cementitious slab (not natural rock)
Artificial calcium-silicate cement composite; likely Portland cement concrete
Metal Alloy (Likely Pewter or Sterling Silver)
Not a natural geological specimen; composed of refined metals. If pewter, it's a tin-based alloy. If sterling silver, it's 92.5% silver and 7.5% other metals (usually copper).
Man-made Synthetic Material (Plastic/Composite)
Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene (ABS) or High-Impact Polystyrene (HIPS)
Likely gold-colored metal ring with a possible gemstone
Uncertain; possibly gold alloy (Au) with a small quartz or glass-like setting
Gold ring with a clear faceted gemstone
Likely diamond (carbon, C); the photograph is insufficient to confirm the stone or metal
Red heart-shaped glass bead in a wire-wrapped jewelry charm
Likely colored glass (amorphous silica-based material); the image does not show an identifiable geological specimen
Small gold-colored jewelry piece with clear stones
Likely a metal setting holding small faceted gemstones; the stones cannot be identified from the image.
Dyed or synthetic turquoise-blue glass-like specimen
Likely man-made colored glass or resin; exact identification requires testing
Metal Chain (Likely Steel or a Steel Alloy)
Steel (primarily iron and carbon); specific alloy unknown
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
Possible weathered basalt or slag fragment
Basalt, chiefly plagioclase and pyroxene; identification is uncertain from the image
Man-made Jewelry Charm (Enameled Metal)
Not a natural mineral; composed of base metal alloy (likely zinc or brass) and epoxy resin/enamel.
Small rough mineral/rock specimen (not confidently identifiable)
Undetermined; image detail is insufficient for a reliable identification
Gold coin pendant on a chain
Gold (Au), likely a coin set in a gold-colored metal mount
Synthetic Resin / Plastic Figurine
Synthetic Polymer (Copolymer of Polyethylene or Resin)
Green sea glass (likely bottle glass)
Man-made soda-lime silicate glass; not a natural mineral
Iron-rich slag or ironstone; appearance is not diagnostic
Likely iron-oxide-rich material (hematite, Fe₂O₃, and/or magnetite, Fe₃O₄); possibly smelting slag
Polished opalite (likely man-made opalescent glass)
Opalite is a commercial name, not a mineral; typically opalescent glass, often soda-lime silicate glass
White sea glass (naturally frosted glass fragment)
Man-made silicate glass, typically soda-lime glass; not a mineral or rock
Green glass cabochon or tumbled stone
Indeterminate; likely man-made glass, possibly aventurine glass rather than a natural mineral
Titanium-coated Metal Cube (Man-made Fidget Toy)
Titanium-anodized or electroplated alloy (e.g., Ti-coated Zinc or Aluminum)
Painted River Rock
Artificially Coated Sedimentary Rock
Green glass sphere/marble
Soda-lime glass (primarily SiO2, Na2O, CaO)
Asphalt Concrete (Bituminous Conglomerate)
Anthropogenic Bituminous Conglomerate
Faceted clear gemstone in a gold-colored setting
Unidentified transparent faceted stone; possibly quartz, glass, or another colorless gem
Asphalt (Road Aggregate)
Bituminous Conglomerate / Asphalt Concrete
Chipped Glass/Plastic Fragment
Silicon dioxide (SiO2) for glass (amorphous) or various polymer compounds for plastic
Lava Rock with Fabric Impression
Scoria or Basalt with anthropogenic impressions
Man-made Metal Pin (Non-geological)
Antimony-Lead Alloy or Zinc/Brass Base with Electroplating
Metal Chain Belt with Square Plates
Not applicable (man-made)
Goldstone beads (likely brown goldstone)
Man-made copper-bearing glass; not a natural mineral. Often sold as “aventurine glass.”
Black beaded bracelet, likely black onyx or glass
Possibly chalcedony (microcrystalline quartz, SiO₂); the beads may instead be man-made glass
Blue crystal pendant (likely blue glass or synthetic crystal)
Not identifiable from the image; possibly synthetic quartz or glass, rather than a natural mineral
N/A - Man-made object (Jewelry Chain)
Antiqued or Oxidized Metal Chain (often Steel or Brass)
Carved Mottled Greenish-Yellow Crystal/Glass Object
Unknown; possibly a form of quartz (chalcedony/jadeite/nephrite) or glass/resin.
Red glassy gemstone, possibly garnet
Unidentified red transparent material; garnet group (X₃Y₂(SiO₄)₃) is a possibility
Blue Goldstone
Man-made glass with cobalt and metal flecks
