Features
Built for collectors who care about accuracy
From the trail to the display case — capture, identify, and catalog every specimen with tools designed for serious hobbyists.
Full rock taxonomy
Igneous, Sedimentary, Metamorphic, Mineral & Crystal, and Fossil — categories that match how collectors think.
Ranked AI matches
Get a confidence-scored shortlist — not a single guess. Compare top candidates and learn the differences.
Free API first
Start with Gemini Flash at no cost. One-tap upgrade to Pro models — GPT-4o or Claude — when you want deeper analysis.
Auto-upgrade on low confidence
When results are uncertain, Snap Rocks can automatically escalate to a stronger model so you don’t second-guess in the field.
Collection journal
Log find location, condition, personal notes, and ratings. Your specimens become a living field catalog.
Export & share
Full export of your collection and one-tap share cards for clubs, socials, or fellow rockhounds.
Reference only — honestly
Identifications are estimates for learning and reference. Not professional geological or gemological appraisals.
How it Works
Three steps from find to field note
Designed for the trail, the creek bed, and the show table — fast enough to use with dirty hands.
1
Snap multiple angles
Open the camera, capture your specimen from a few sides, and let Snap Rocks read surface, color, and form.
2
