About the startup
You found a rock on a hike, inherited a box of crystals, or pulled something strange out of a creek bed. Any Rock Identifier tells you what it is from a photo — in seconds. Point your camera at a rock, crystal, gemstone, mineral or fossil and get an identification with a plain-language confidence score. When the specimen is ambiguous, it says so and lists the likely alternatives instead of bluffing a single answer. That honesty is the point: it's built to be right, and to admit when it isn't. Every result links to a field guide with the properties that actually matter — Mohs hardness, streak color, luster, crystal habit, and common look-alikes — plus the at-home tests to confirm the ID yourself: the streak test, a hardness check, a magnet, a drop of vinegar for the acid-fizz test. You learn to identify specimens, not just look them up. Start with three free identifications, no account required. Pro unlocks unlimited IDs, value and rarity estimates, real-vs-fake authenticity checks, care guides, and downloadable reports. Made for rockhounds, hobbyist collectors, students, hikers, and teachers. Works in any browser on phone or desktop — nothing to install. (It identifies geology only — never mushrooms, plants, or wildlife.)
