Rock Identifier: 3D Stone ID

Explore rocks, minerals, crystals, and gemstones from a photo with Rock Identifier: 3D Stone ID.

Take a clear photo or choose an image from your gallery. The app uses AI-assisted image recognition to suggest possible matches and show available geological reference information. Browse interactive 3D specimens and keep a personal collection of your discoveries.

AI-ASSISTED ROCK IDENTIFICATION

Photograph a specimen and review possible matches from the available database. Crop or adjust the image before analysis to make important visual details easier to see.

Depending on the specimen and available data, results may include:

• Common name
• Rock, mineral, crystal, or gemstone category
• Igneous, sedimentary, or metamorphic class, when applicable
• Visible characteristics
• Physical properties
• Formation and occurrence information
• Reference images and educational notes

Results may vary based on image quality, lighting, viewing angle, surface condition, polish, natural specimen variation, and database coverage. A photo match does not confirm an identification.

INTERACTIVE 3D SPECIMENS

Explore available rock and mineral models from different angles.

• Rotate specimens
• Zoom in and out
• Pan around the model
• Compare shapes and visible structures
• Read available educational descriptions

The available 3D library may vary by app version.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION

This app is intended for educational and reference purposes only. A photograph cannot directly measure properties such as hardness, streak, specific gravity, magnetism, or chemical composition.

Identification results may be incomplete or inaccurate and should not be treated as professional geological, mineralogical, or gemological identification, authentication, certification, or appraisal. Confirm important findings with physical tests and a qualified geologist, mineralogist, or gemologist.
