Rounded river pebble, likely sandstone or weathered quartz-rich sedimentary rock
Indeterminate siliciclastic pebble; likely quartz–feldspar sandstone, with possible iron-oxide staining
Tumbled brown stone, possibly chert or iron-stained quartzite
Indeterminate from photograph; possible microcrystalline quartz (SiO₂)
Rounded yellow-brown river pebble
Indeterminate lithology; possibly weathered sandstone or chert
Rounded yellow sandstone pebble
Quartz-rich sandstone, likely ferruginous or calcareous sandstone
Weathered iron-rich pebble
Likely ferruginous sandstone or ironstone; exact identification requires testing
Weathered iron-rich sandstone or ferruginous quartzite
Quartz-rich sandstone, variably cemented by iron oxides (SiO₂ with hematite/goethite)
Rounded sandstone pebble
Quartz-rich sandstone (primarily SiO₂)
Tumbled yellow jasper
Jasper, microcrystalline quartz (SiO₂), colored mainly by iron oxides
Rounded quartz-rich pebble, possibly chert or weathered sandstone
Indeterminate siliciclastic rock; likely microcrystalline quartz (SiO₂) or quartz-feldspar sandstone
Tumbled yellow-orange calcite
Calcite (calcium carbonate, CaCO₃)
Rounded sandstone pebble
Quartz-rich sandstone (likely arkose or lithic sandstone)
Rounded pink granite pebble
Granite, chiefly quartz, potassium feldspar, plagioclase, and biotite; exact identification is limited by the small image
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.
