Rock & Mineral Identifier

Rock & Mineral Identifier helps you identify rocks, stones, minerals, crystals and gemstones from a photo.

Take a new photo or choose one from your gallery, focus on the specimen and let the app analyze its visible characteristics. You receive a detailed identification with useful information to help you understand and compare your find.

🔎 IDENTIFY ROCKS AND MINERALS

Photograph a specimen and get a visual identification based on its appearance.

The app can help recognize:
• Rocks and stones
• Minerals
• Crystals
• Gemstones
• Common natural specimens

You can crop your photo before analysis so the specimen stays clear and centered.

📷 IMPROVE DIFFICULT IDENTIFICATIONS

Some rocks and minerals can look very similar from a single angle.

When more visual information is useful, you can add another photo of the same specimen. Different sides, crystal faces, surface textures or cleaner areas can help provide a more complete analysis.

🪨 DETAILED IDENTIFICATION RESULTS

Each result is designed to show more than just a name.

Depending on the identified specimen and available reference data, you can view:
• Common and canonical name
• Rock or mineral group
• Identification confidence
• Visible evidence
• Alternative possible matches
• Similar-looking specimens
• Color and transparency
• Luster and surface appearance
• Structure and visible patterns
• Crystal characteristics
• Mohs hardness
• Density
• Streak
• Formation information
• Typical occurrences
• Common uses

When an exact technical property cannot be reliably associated with the identification, the app avoids presenting overly specific reference values.

🔬 COMPARE AND VERIFY

Identification from a photograph can sometimes be uncertain, especially when several minerals share similar colors or textures.

Compare possible matches, review visible clues and use the available verification information to better understand the result.

The app can also suggest another useful photo angle when additional visual evidence may help.

❤️ BUILD YOUR COLLECTION

Your identifications can be kept in your local collection for easy access later.

Search previous scans, mark favorites and filter your collection by specimen type, including rocks, minerals, gemstones and crystals.

You can also share an identification result when you want to keep or discuss your findings elsewhere.

🌍 MADE FOR EVERYDAY DISCOVERY

Use Rock & Mineral Identifier while exploring outdoors, organizing a collection, examining an interesting stone or simply learning more about geology and minerals.

For better results, use a sharp photo with neutral lighting, keep the specimen clearly visible and avoid strong reflections or heavy shadows.

Rock & Mineral Identifier provides visual identification and reference information for educational and informational purposes. Similar-looking specimens may require additional physical tests or professional examination for definitive identification.
