Rock Identifier: Stone ID

Identify rocks from a photo

Rock Identifier: Stone ID helps you work out what kind of rock or mineral you have by using a photo. It suits curious hikers, collectors, students, and anyone who finds an unfamiliar stone and wants a useful starting point without carrying a printed field guide.

A practical reference for curious collectors

After identifying a sample, you can explore information about its appearance and properties, including details such as hardness, luster, and chemical composition. The app covers more than 6,000 rocks and minerals, making it useful for comparing similar-looking specimens and learning the terms used in geology.

Keep track of your finds

Rock Identifier: Stone ID also gives collectors a way to record individual pieces in a personal collection. Notes can include where a sample came from, when it was acquired, and what it cost. That makes the app relevant both for occasional finds and for people who want a more organised record of their minerals.

Photo-based identification is best treated as an informed suggestion rather than a final scientific assessment. Clear images and good lighting can make a difference, while unusual or difficult samples may need closer examination. The app also offers a way to ask geologists about specimens that are not easy to identify from a picture alone.
