Vesicular basalt (probable scoriaceous basalt)
Basalt, composed mainly of plagioclase feldspar, pyroxene, and commonly olivine
Botryoidal hematite–goethite specimen (probable)
Hematite (Fe₂O₃) with goethite (FeO(OH)), possibly limonite
Chert or chalcedony nodule
Microcrystalline quartz (SiO₂), possibly weathered chert
Serpentine-rich metamorphic rock (possibly serpentinite)
Serpentinite; chiefly antigorite, lizardite, or chrysotile with possible magnetite and carbonate minerals
Weathered granitoid rock
Granite or granitic gneiss; chiefly quartz, feldspar, and mica
Banded gneiss pebble
Gneiss, commonly quartz–feldspar–mica bearing
Rounded quartz-rich river pebble
Feldspathic quartz sandstone or quartzite pebble (exact identification requires testing)
Native gold-bearing quartz/rock specimen
Native gold (Au) in quartz and iron-oxide matrix
Pyrite-bearing granite with a golden sulfide inclusion
Granite; likely pyrite (FeS₂), possibly chalcopyrite (CuFeS₂)
Tumbled brown jasper (likely common jasper or chert)
Microcrystalline quartz, SiO₂, chiefly chalcedony/quartz with iron-oxide impurities
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.
