Copper-bearing schist (likely bornite/chalcopyrite ore)
Micaceous schist with sulfide minerals, chiefly bornite (Cu₅FeS₄) and/or chalcopyrite (CuFeS₂)
Coarse-grained granite
Granitic plutonic rock; chiefly quartz, alkali feldspar, plagioclase, biotite/hornblende
Quartz-rich rock, likely chert or chalcedony
Microcrystalline silica (SiO₂), possibly quartz/chalcedony
Coarse-grained mica-bearing metamorphic rock, likely schist
Mica schist, probably muscovite–biotite schist with quartz and feldspar
Granite
Coarse-grained granitic rock, chiefly quartz, alkali feldspar, plagioclase, and biotite/hornblende
Likely weathered basalt or mafic volcanic rock
Basalt; chiefly plagioclase feldspar, pyroxene, and possibly olivine
Fossiliferous limestone
Calcite-rich limestone (CaCO₃), containing possible fossil or peloidal inclusions
Pegmatitic granite
Granite, quartz–feldspar–mica assemblage
Likely basalt with a pale mineral-filled vesicle
Vesicular basalt, probably containing calcite or zeolite (uncertain from image)
Possible basaltic rock or meteorite candidate
Likely vesicular basalt; meteorite identification cannot be confirmed visually
Pegmatitic granite (quartz–feldspar–mica rock)
Granitic pegmatite; primarily quartz (SiO₂), alkali/plagioclase feldspar, and minor mica, with iron-oxide staining
Tumbled polymict breccia (probable quartz-rich breccia)
Clastic breccia composed mainly of quartz, feldspar, and iron-oxide-stained rock fragments
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.
