Rock identifier app FAQ

What is the best rock identifier app?+

The best rock identifier app should identify from photos, explain the visual clues, show confidence, and avoid pretending to be a certified lab. Stone Sense is built around that flow: AI first guess, confidence, next checks, and saved finds.

Can I identify a rock from a picture?+

Yes, often you can get a useful first guess from a clear picture. Distinctive specimens like quartz, amethyst, pyrite, or granite are easier; weathered or similar-looking rocks need extra tests.

Does Stone Sense identify meteorites?+

Stone Sense can flag a specimen as a possible meteorite candidate, but meteorites cannot be confirmed from a photo alone. Use magnet/density checks and professional verification for serious finds.

Is the web scan free?+

Yes. The web tool gives one free scan. For unlimited scans and saved results, use the Stone Sense app.

Stone Sense is an educational app. AI photo identification can be a helpful first step, but it is not a certified geological, gemological, or meteorite analysis. Verify valuable, hazardous, or scientifically important finds with a qualified expert.
