Snap a rock and learn what it is and why. Collect your beach and trail finds, and level up badges from Bronze to Platinum.
Found an interesting rock on the beach or trail? Snap a photo and StoneSnap tells you what it is, why, and how to be sure.
Most identifiers just give you a name. StoneSnap shows its work: the clues it spotted in your photo, the look-alikes it ruled out, and simple checks you can do yourself, like shining a flashlight through a thin edge.

• Add where you found it or what you noticed for a sharper result
TURN EVERY WALK INTO A TREASURE HUNT

This app allows you to identify, collect, sort, and organize your collection! It’s perfect for when you want to show off your collection or make comparisons when out collecting or shopping around for new specimens. You get three days for free to scan without limits or hindrances, so I appreciate that there isn’t an upfront pay-wall, and it gives me time to really explore the app in its entirety! There is even a cool badge-collection system that reminds me of PokeMon Go, so it keeps it interesting to say the least! I highly recommend this app to anyone who has anywhere from a small collection of rocks to even a wall of them! You’ve got to try it out.
Makes beach-coming extra fun

I walk the beach frequently and it’s wild how addictive this app is. I had a backache given how many times I’m bending down and grabbing a colorful rock to scan.
Great app to record my collection!

Such a fun and interactive app for identifying and learning more as I build my rock collection. It’s like Pokemon Go for rocks! Easy to use and works like a charm!
StoneSnap has a whole new look, and a faster, smarter way to identify what you find.
• All-new design: calmer pages, easier-to-read results and a new app icon
• Smarter identifications: ranked top matches that explain the clues we spotted and the look-alikes we ruled out, plus quick field tests like hardness, streak and luster to double-check
• Better scanning: a new camera with close-up focus for small crystals, and live steps while StoneSnap works. You can leave, and we'll let you know when it's ready.
• Real or fake? New guides show the telltale signs for popular stones
• A richer field guide: pronunciations, crystal lore, zodiac stones, full-screen photo galleries and 39 more photos, now with photographer credits
• Your collection, beautifully kept: a new photo grid, tags, and one-tap "Add more" to fill in details
• New badges: polished medallions and a moment to celebrate each one you earn
• Share your finds: new Card, Story and Polaroid layouts
• Faster everywhere: quicker launch, and photos you've already viewed load instantly, even offline
• Your thumbs up or down on a result now helps us improve identifications
• You're in control: StoneSnap asks before sending photos to our AI partners, and analytics only runs with your permission
Plus fixes for scan limits, switching accounts and more. Happy hunting!
