How RockScan identifies rocks by photo

RockScan sends your photo to a vision model specialized for geological specimens, returns a structured ID with confidence, then lets you save the discovery and ask follow-up questions.

1. Capture

Use natural light when possible. Fill the frame with the specimen; avoid heavy filters.

2. Identify

RockScan proposes the best match among rocks, crystals, gemstones, minerals, and fossils.

3. Verify

Check Mohs, luster, and lookalikes on the result card — or open the matching directory entry.

4. Collect

Save discoveries to your library; sync survives reinstall via your RockScan identity.
