Likely weathered quartz-rich rock, possibly smoky quartz or chert
Quartz (SiO₂), though exact identification is uncertain from the photograph
Chalcedony (likely agate/chert fragment)
Microcrystalline quartz, SiO₂
Conglomeratic breccia
Clast-supported polymictic conglomerate/breccia, cemented by silica- or carbonate-rich matrix
Tumbled smoky quartz with iron-stained inclusions
Quartz (SiO₂), likely smoky quartz variety
Likely weathered limestone or calcite-rich stone
Limestone, primarily calcium carbonate (CaCO₃), possibly calcite
Likely basalt
Basalt; fine-grained mafic volcanic rock, chiefly plagioclase and pyroxene with possible olivine
Serpentinite (probable)
Serpentinite, dominated by serpentine-group minerals (Mg₃Si₂O₅(OH)₄), with dark magnetite or chromite and pale carbonate/talc possible
Flint or chert
Microcrystalline quartz (SiO₂), commonly with chalcedony
Quartz-rich rock, possibly milky quartz or quartzite fragment
Quartz (SiO₂), potentially quartzite if metamorphic
Weathered quartz-rich rock, possibly granite or quartzite
Indeterminate; likely quartz–feldspar aggregate, possibly granitic gneiss
Weathered limestone or calcareous fossil fragment
Calcite-rich carbonate rock (CaCO₃), possibly fossiliferous limestone
Weathered granite or granitic pebble
Granite; chiefly quartz, alkali feldspar, plagioclase, and minor mica/amphibole
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.
