Blue-green agate bead bracelet
Chalcedony (microcrystalline quartz, SiO₂), likely dyed blue-green
Lapis lazuli bead bracelet
Lapis lazuli: a rock composed mainly of lazurite, with variable calcite and pyrite
Blue gemstone bead bracelet, likely dyed agate or another blue stone
Undetermined; possibly dyed chalcedony (microcrystalline quartz, SiO₂)
Pink-and-cream mineral bead bracelet (likely rose quartz and pale quartz)
Quartz, SiO₂; rose quartz is pink quartz, though the beads may include other pale stones.
Polished gemstone beads, likely brown tiger’s eye with an orange bead and a green bead
Tiger’s eye: fibrous quartz (SiO₂) with iron-oxide inclusions; the orange and green beads cannot be identified confidently from the image
Likely polished agate beads
Agate, a banded variety of chalcedony (microcrystalline SiO₂); exact identification is uncertain from the image
Multicolor quartz bead bracelet
Quartz (silicon dioxide, SiO₂); bead colors may be from different varieties or treated quartz
Polished red gemstone beads, possibly garnet
Unconfirmed; likely almandine garnet (Fe₃Al₂(SiO₄)₃)
Pale blue-green fluorite (rough crystal)
Fluorite, calcium fluoride (CaF₂)
Polished agate slice
Chalcedony (microcrystalline quartz, SiO₂), likely a pale pink agate geode slice
Polished stone clock face, likely agate or jasper
Unconfirmed silica-rich material; possibly banded chalcedony (SiO₂)
Polished agate slice
Agate, a banded variety of chalcedony (microcrystalline SiO₂)
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.
