Stone Shelf - Rock Identifier

Identify rocks, crystals, minerals, gemstones, and selected fossils from a photo, compare likely matches, and save every find in a personal specimen cabinet.

Stone Shelf is built for rockhounds, mineral collectors, and curious explorers who want more than a one-off scanner result. Photograph a stone — from a beach pebble to a crystal or agate — and get likely matches with confidence context and lookalikes to rule out. Then keep the specimen with its photo, place, date, and notes.

STONE SHELF PRO
Stone Shelf includes two free identifications each day. Stone Shelf Pro removes the daily identification limit with an auto-renewing monthly or annual subscription, and eligible customers get a 7-day free trial on the annual plan. Your exact price and trial eligibility are shown in the app before you confirm a purchase. Payment is charged to your Apple Account at confirmation. Subscriptions renew automatically unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. Manage or cancel any time in Apple Account settings.

Stone Shelf uses AI to suggest likely identifications. A photo cannot replace physical testing or expert examination. Always confirm significant, valuable, or safety-sensitive finds with a field guide, lab test, or qualified expert.
