Ever picked up a strange rock on a hike and wished you knew what it was? Rock Identifier: Mineral Scan is a geology app that turns your phone into a portable guide. Just snap a photo or upload one from your gallery and get an instant identification with everything you need to know about your find.
The app recognizes thousands of rocks, minerals, stones, gems, and crystals. Each identification comes with a detailed profile covering name, type, hardness, color, luster, chemical composition, and where the specimen is commonly found. Wondering if that stone you found might actually be worth something — or if you've stumbled across gold? The built-in value evaluation helps you estimate what your rock or mineral could be worth, so you will know if you are walking past treasure on your next trail.
Scanning in caves, under ledges, or out after sunset? The built-in camera flashlight lets you capture clear photos in low light, so you can identify your finds on the spot instead of waiting until you get home.
Explore the Mineral Map
Curious where to find specific minerals or gemstones near you? The interactive mineral map shows real locations where different rocks and minerals have been found. Use it to plan your next hike or field trip around areas rich in the specimens you want to discover. It turns a regular nature walk into a proper rock hunting expedition.
Learn with the Rock and Mineral Wiki
Every stone, gem, crystal, and mineral in the app has its own wiki page. Read about how it forms, what makes it unique, where it occurs naturally, and how people have used it throughout history. It is not just an identifier — it is a geology guide you can carry in your pocket. Great for students preparing for exams, teachers looking for classroom resources, or anyone who simply wants to learn more about the ground beneath their feet.
Build Your Collection
Found something worth keeping? Save your identifications and build a personal collection inside the app. Record where you found each specimen, add your own notes, and track your discoveries over time.
