Green-and-white marble (likely serpentine-bearing marble)
Calcite- or dolomite-rich marble with green serpentine/chlorite minerals; exact identification requires testing
Snap a photo of any rock, mineral, gem, or crystal — Rock Identifier names it in seconds and explains how it formed, what it’s made of, and where it came from.

Green-and-white marble (likely serpentine-bearing marble)
Calcite- or dolomite-rich marble with green serpentine/chlorite minerals; exact identification requires testing
Serpentine (rough serpentine-rich rock)
Serpentine-group minerals, chiefly antigorite and/or lizardite; composition broadly Mg₃Si₂O₅(OH)₄
Iron-stained quartzite or ironstone
Likely ferruginous quartzite, composed mainly of quartz (SiO₂) with iron oxides such as hematite and goethite
Weathered granite or granitic gneiss pebble
Quartz–feldspar–mica rock; exact identification is uncertain from the image
Iron-stained chert (possibly jasper)
Microcrystalline quartz (SiO₂), colored by iron oxides
Purple fluorite
Fluorite (calcium fluoride, CaF₂)
Weathered chert (flint)
Microcrystalline quartz (SiO₂), also called chalcedony
Purple fluorite in matrix
Fluorite (CaF₂), likely embedded in a carbonate-rich host rock
Milky quartz pebble
Quartz (SiO₂), with iron-oxide staining
Quartz pebble
Quartz, SiO₂; likely a rounded vein-quartz clast
Iron meteorite (likely an etched or weathered display specimen)
Iron meteorite, composed chiefly of kamacite and taenite (Fe–Ni alloys)
Polished breccia (decorative stone)
Likely carbonate breccia: angular carbonate-rock fragments in a calcite-rich matrix; exact identification requires testing
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.
