The theme is Mineral Gemstones
Answer:
$$\begin{array}{|c|c|c|c|}\hline\textbf{Prefix} & \textbf{Infix} & \textbf{Suffix} & \textbf{Word} \\ \hline\text{Ag} & \text{Ga} & \text{gate} & \text{Agate} \\ \hline\text{Sun} & \text{St} & \text{One} & \text{Sunstone} \\ \hline\text{Spin} & \text{Ne} & \text{L}& \text{Spinel} \\ \hline\text{Sap} & \text{Ph} & \text{Hire} & \text{Sapphire} \\ \hline\text{Lab} & \text{Rad+Or} & \text{Rite} & \text{Labradorite} \\ \hline\end{array}$$
In detail:
1. Ag (Chemical symbol for Silver) + Ga (Chemical symbol for Gallium) + Gate = AGATE
2. Sun + St (Street) + One = SUNSTONE
3. Spin + NE (North East) + L (Cyrillic L @jafe) = SPINEL
4. Sap + PH (Philippines) + Hire = SAPPHIRE
5. Lab + Rad (Radian) + Or + Rite (Right) = LABRADORITE

$\begingroup$ 2,4 and 5 are formed by direct concatenation. This doesn't seem to be the case in 1. $\endgroup$– TojraCommented May 26, 2019 at 15:33

$\begingroup$ @Tojrah I think it doesn't have to direct concatenation as long as it fits the prefix/infix/suffix. $\endgroup$– yaaraCommented May 26, 2019 at 15:35

1$\begingroup$ Picture 2(infix) could be improved. A street is a road in a city or town, usually with houses or buildings, and often with sidewalks. What is pictured is only a road. $\endgroup$– AndyBCommented May 27, 2019 at 3:17
