Tumbled chalcedony (likely carnelian/agate)
Microcrystalline quartz, SiO₂; chalcedony, with possible iron-oxide coloring
Likely small metallic meteorite fragments
Unclassified iron or stony-iron meteorite; mineralogy cannot be confirmed from the image
Unidentified weathered rock fragments
Likely mixed silicate rocks; specific identification requires testing
Polished amethyst pyramid
Amethyst, purple quartz (SiO₂)
Banded calcite marble
Calcite-rich marble (CaCO₃), likely impure marble
Tumbled milky quartz
Quartz (silicon dioxide, SiO₂)
Biotite-bearing granite or granodiorite
Coarse-grained quartz–feldspar rock with biotite; approximate composition: quartz + plagioclase/K-feldspar + biotite ± hornblende
Granite (likely biotite granite)
Coarse-grained granitic rock; chiefly quartz, potassium feldspar, plagioclase, and biotite/hornblende
Polished dark stone, likely basalt
Basalt, a fine-grained mafic volcanic rock composed mainly of plagioclase feldspar and pyroxene, with possible olivine and magnetite
Weathered granitic rock, likely granodiorite
Granodiorite: quartz, plagioclase feldspar, potassium feldspar, and biotite/hornblende
Tumbled pegmatitic granite
Granite, chiefly quartz–feldspar–mica; likely altered pegmatite
Pegmatitic granite
Coarse-grained granite, chiefly quartz, feldspar, and mica; likely a granitic pegmatite
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.
