Carved limestone architectural fragment
Limestone, predominantly calcite (CaCO₃), possibly weathered fossiliferous or oolitic limestone
Weathered granite
Granite; quartz–feldspar–mica plutonic rock
Granite (likely biotite or hornblende granite)
Coarse-grained felsic intrusive rock; chiefly quartz (SiO₂), plagioclase and potassium feldspar, with minor biotite/hornblende
Tumbled turquoise (probable)
Turquoise — hydrated copper aluminum phosphate, CuAl₆(PO₄)₄(OH)₈·4H₂O
Likely quartz-rich stone or pale feldspar fragment
Indeterminate; possibly quartz (SiO₂) or feldspar (KAlSi₃O₈–NaAlSi₃O₈)
Milky quartz fragment
Quartz (silicon dioxide, SiO₂)
Milky quartz (quartz crystal fragment)
Quartz, silicon dioxide (SiO₂)
Calcite crystal (likely Iceland spar)
Calcite, calcium carbonate (CaCO₃)
Quartz-rich gray stone, likely quartzite
Quartzite; predominantly crystalline silicon dioxide (SiO₂)
Selenite (gypsum) wand
Gypsum, CaSO₄·2H₂O; likely satin spar or clear selenite variety
Tumbled brown stone, likely jasper or iron-rich chert
Microcrystalline quartz (SiO₂), possibly hematite/goethite-bearing jasper
Rounded quartz-rich pebble
Massive quartz (silicon dioxide, SiO₂), possibly milky quartz or quartzite
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.
