Likely tumbled yellow-green gemstone, possibly prehnite
Unconfirmed; prehnite is a hydrous calcium aluminum silicate, Ca₂Al(AlSi₃O₁₀)(OH)₂
Snap a photo of any rock, mineral, gem, or crystal — Rock Identifier names it in seconds and explains how it formed, what it’s made of, and where it came from.

A rolling collection of rocks, minerals, and gems just identified by the Rock Identifier community.
Likely tumbled yellow-green gemstone, possibly prehnite
Unconfirmed; prehnite is a hydrous calcium aluminum silicate, Ca₂Al(AlSi₃O₁₀)(OH)₂
Rhodonite
Rhodonite, (Mn,Fe,Mg,Ca)SiO₃
Tumbled quartz with iron-oxide inclusions
Quartz (SiO₂), with likely hematite/goethite staining and host-rock inclusions
Tumbled quartz-rich rock, possibly milky quartz with iron staining and inclusions
Quartz (SiO₂), likely with iron-oxide staining and minor inclusions; exact rock type cannot be determined from the image alone
Granite pebble
Granite, a coarse-grained felsic intrusive igneous rock
Weathered river pebble, likely quartzite
Quartzite (predominantly interlocking quartz, SiO₂); identification is tentative from the photo
Small rounded pebble (rock type indeterminate)
Unidentified fine-grained lithic pebble
Dark green-black tumbled stone, possibly nephrite jade
Undetermined; possible nephrite (tremolite–actinolite, Ca₂(Mg,Fe)₅Si₈O₂₂(OH)₂)
Likely quartzite pebble
Quartz-rich quartzite, composed mainly of SiO₂
Small dark mineral or rock fragment (not identifiable from the image)
Undetermined; the specimen is too small and lacks visible diagnostic features for a reliable identification.
Unidentified small green-brown mineral fragment
Indeterminate from the photograph; possibly olivine, but identification is uncertain
Tumbled citrine (likely)
Quartz, SiO₂; yellow-orange color may be natural citrine or heat-treated amethyst
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.
