Pegmatitic granite
Granite/pegmatite; predominantly quartz (SiO₂), feldspar, and mica
Biotite-bearing granite or granitic gneiss
Quartz–feldspar–biotite rock; exact identification requires testing
Banded gneiss pebble
Gneiss, typically quartz–feldspar–mica bearing
Weathered metamorphic rock, possibly schist or gneiss
Indeterminate; likely quartz–feldspar–mica rock, potentially greenschist or gneiss
Weathered granite or granitic gneiss
Quartz–feldspar–mica granitoid; possible biotite granite or gneiss
Unidentified fine mineral/rock powder
Indeterminate from image; possibly crushed quartz-rich sand or finely milled rock
Chalcedony (likely carnelian or jasper)
Microcrystalline quartz, SiO₂; iron-bearing varieties produce red-orange colors
Mixed beach-stone and tumbled-glass collection
Predominantly uncertain rocks (likely basalt, granite, and quartz-bearing stones) with anthropogenic glass; one possible banded agate or jasper
Mica schist (likely biotite–muscovite schist)
Mica schist; chiefly quartz (SiO₂) plus muscovite and biotite mica, with possible garnet or graphite
Polished green-and-black banded cabochon (likely malachite imitation or dyed agate)
Uncertain; possible malachite (Cu₂CO₃(OH)₂), banded agate (SiO₂), or man-made glass
Tumbled amazonite
Amazonite, green microcline feldspar (KAlSi₃O₈)
Malachite-bearing copper ore, possibly chrysocolla
Malachite (Cu₂CO₃(OH)₂), with possible chrysocolla (Cu₂−xAlx(H₂−xSi₂O₅)(OH)₄·nH₂O) and host rock
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.
