Polished pink granite (likely granite pebble)
Granite, mainly quartz, alkali feldspar, plagioclase, and minor biotite/hornblende
Milky quartz with iron-oxide staining
Quartz, silicon dioxide (SiO₂), commonly with hematite/goethite inclusions
Quartz crystal with iron-oxide staining
Quartz (SiO₂), likely iron-stained or included quartz
Milky quartz in weathered host rock
Quartz, silicon dioxide (SiO₂), likely with iron-stained feldspar or altered matrix
Likely weathered gray limestone or shale fragment
Calcite-rich carbonate rock (limestone), possibly calcareous shale
Rounded river pebbles, likely basalt and sandstone/conglomerate
Probable basalt (dark specimen) and ferruginous sandstone or weathered conglomerate (tan specimen)
Rounded dark mafic cobble, likely basalt
Basalt; primarily plagioclase feldspar, clinopyroxene, and commonly olivine or magnetite
Water-worn limestone and calcite-rich stones
Limestone, chiefly calcite (CaCO₃), with possible dolomite and minor iron-oxide staining
Polished jasper pebble (likely brecciated or ocean jasper)
Jasper, microcrystalline quartz (SiO₂) with iron-oxide impurities
Dark mafic rock, likely basalt
Basalt; chiefly plagioclase feldspar and pyroxene, with possible olivine and iron oxides
Likely polished quartz-rich stone or calcite specimen
Uncertain; possibly quartz (SiO₂) or calcite (CaCO₃)
Quartz-rich granitic rock (likely weathered granite)
Granite; chiefly quartz, feldspar, and mica, with possible iron-oxide staining
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.
