Milky quartz
Quartz (silicon dioxide, SiO₂)
Tumbled brown quartzite or chert pebble
Quartzite, primarily microcrystalline SiO₂; exact identification is uncertain from the photograph
Polished brecciated jasper
Microcrystalline quartz (SiO₂), commonly with iron oxides and altered volcanic fragments
Polished brown chert or jasper pebble
Microcrystalline quartz (SiO₂), likely chert/jasper
Tumbled jasper
Microcrystalline quartz (SiO₂), commonly iron-stained chalcedony/jasper
Tumbled amber jasper
Jasper, microcrystalline quartz (SiO₂), colored by iron oxides and dark mineral inclusions
Weathered chert or flint nodule
Microcrystalline quartz (SiO₂), commonly chalcedony/quartz
Brown chalcedony (likely jasper or chert)
Microcrystalline quartz, SiO₂; opaque iron-oxide-rich variety
Tumbled orange-brown chalcedony or jasper
Microcrystalline quartz, SiO₂; likely iron-stained chalcedony/jasper
Brown chert or jasper pebble
Microcrystalline quartz (SiO₂), likely iron-oxide-bearing chert/jasper
Tumbled brown jasper
Microcrystalline quartz (chalcedony), SiO₂, with iron-oxide and clay inclusions
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.
