Labradorite pendant
Labradorite, a plagioclase feldspar: (Ca,Na)(Al,Si)₄O₈
Rounded orange-brown pebble (likely iron-stained quartzite)
Quartz-rich quartzite; exact identification is uncertain from the image
Blue chalcedony cabochon
Microcrystalline quartz (SiO₂), chalcedony variety
Possibly a polished pale-green gemstone cabochon (likely aquamarine or fluorite)
Undetermined from the image; aquamarine is blue-green beryl (Be₃Al₂Si₆O₁₈), while fluorite is CaF₂
Polished banded agate
Microcrystalline quartz (SiO₂), chiefly chalcedony
Tumbled pink chalcedony (likely pink agate)
Chalcedony, microcrystalline SiO₂; variety of quartz
Weathered limestone
Calcite-rich limestone, chiefly calcium carbonate (CaCO₃)
Yellow faceted gemstone, likely citrine
Citrine (yellow quartz, SiO₂); identification from the image is tentative
Possible rough green tourmaline (verdelite)
Tourmaline group; commonly elbaite, Na(Li₁.₅Al₁.₅)Al₆Si₆O₁₈(BO₃)₃(OH)₄
Tumbled sodalite
Sodalite, Na₈(Al₆Si₆O₂₄)Cl₂; likely with white calcite inclusions
Likely polished labradorite (small tumbled stone)
Labradorite, a plagioclase feldspar; approximately (Ca,Na)(Al,Si)₄O₈
Tumbled opalite (likely man-made glass)
Opalite, a trade name for opalescent glass; not natural opal
What you get
Identify a rock, then explore everything about it — properties, formation, and your own notes — all in one app.
Point your camera at any rock and get an answer in seconds — no field guide, no guesswork.
Common name, scientific name, physical properties, and category — the data a geologist would write in a field notebook.
Trace each specimen back through time: how it formed, when, and which geological forces shaped it.
Add your own notes to any identification — conditions, observations, or anything you want to remember.
Build a private cabinet of every rock you’ve identified, with your own notes attached.
Browse rocks identified by other rockhounds — and share your own discoveries publicly or keep them private.
How it works
Capture the specimen in natural light. A clear shot of texture and color is all the AI needs.
Our model reads mineral, texture, and color signatures to identify what you’re looking at.
Get name, classification, formation, uses, and field notes — written like a real field guide.
