A rolling collection of rocks, minerals, and gems just identified by the Rock Identifier community.
Quartz crystal fragment with iron-oxide inclusions
Quartz, SiO₂; inclusions likely limonite/goethite or possibly mica
Clear quartz crystal (likely vein quartz)
Quartz, silicon dioxide (SiO₂), most likely colorless macrocrystalline quartz
Blue-gray layered sedimentary pebble
Likely micaceous shale or slate; exact identification requires testing
Tumbled banded agate
Microcrystalline quartz (chalcedony), SiO₂, with band-forming impurities
Polished selenite (satin spar gypsum), likely carved/tumbled
Gypsum, CaSO₄·2H₂O; varietal identification is uncertain from the image
Quartz-rich feldspathic rock, possibly pegmatite
Granite/pegmatite; mainly quartz (SiO₂) and feldspar
Likely weathered pink granite or feldspathic rock fragment
Granite, approximately quartz–feldspar–mica aggregate; exact identification is uncertain from the image
Fossilized bone fragment, possibly vertebra
Fossil bone (mineralized hydroxyapatite; exact taxon indeterminate)
Tumbled jasper/chert, possibly brecciated jasper
Microcrystalline quartz (SiO₂), with iron-oxide staining and possible chalcedony
Fossilized gastropod shell
Fossil Mollusca, class Gastropoda; likely a mineral-replaced or partially silicified shell
Blue agate slice with quartz crystal cavity
Chalcedony (microcrystalline SiO₂) with quartz (SiO₂)
Polished agate geode slice
Banded chalcedony (microcrystalline quartz, SiO₂) with central quartz druse
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.
