Dark blue polished stone pendant
Indeterminate; possibly sodalite, lapis lazuli, or blue slag/glass-like material
Pegmatitic granite with dark mica/amphibole
Coarse-grained felsic intrusive rock; chiefly quartz, alkali feldspar, plagioclase, and biotite/hornblende
Iron-rich sandstone or weathered ironstone
Ferruginous sandstone, commonly quartz (SiO₂) cemented or stained by iron oxides such as hematite (Fe₂O₃) and goethite (FeO(OH))
Iron-rich laterite or weathered ironstone
Laterite, likely limonitic goethite–hematite material
Weathered pink granite or granitic rock
Granite; chiefly quartz (SiO₂), feldspar, and mica/amphibole
Weathered, iron-stained rock (likely sandstone or breccia)
Indeterminate clastic sedimentary rock; possible ferruginous sandstone or weathered breccia
Granite
Granite; chiefly quartz, plagioclase and alkali feldspar, with biotite or hornblende
Tumbled jasper or chalcedony pebble
Microcrystalline quartz (SiO₂), likely jasper/chalcedony with iron-oxide staining
Likely weathered iron-rich quartz or chert
Microcrystalline quartz (SiO₂), possibly limonite/goethite stained
Specular hematite (likely iron-rich ore)
Hematite, Fe₂O₃; possibly magnetite-bearing
Orange carnelian (likely tumbled chalcedony)
Cryptocrystalline quartz, SiO₂; orange color commonly from iron oxides
Tumbled yellow chalcedony (likely yellow jasper)
Microcrystalline quartz, SiO₂; chalcedony/jasper variety
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.
