Rockipedia
AI recognition
One clear, well-lit shot of the most patterned side gives the best result. You get a best match with a confidence score, a short list of “might also be”, and a way to correct the name if the app got it wrong.
Available now iOS & Android
Every stone,
properly identified.
Rockipedia turns one photo into a full read on the rock, stone or crystal in front of you — formula, hardness, colour, chakras, elements and zodiacs — then keeps it in a collection that remembers what you found.
Free to start. Premium unlocks unlimited identifications and the full library.
Point, shoot, understand
No gemmology degree required. Photograph the most colourful, patterned face of the stone and Rockipedia returns a best match, the close alternatives, and the reference details behind them — then hands you tools to value it, test it against a magnet, and file it away.

What the app does
Three things, done properly
Identification is the door. Behind it are the tools you actually reach for when a stone lands in your hand — what it is worth, how it behaves, and where it belongs in your collection.
Gem valuation
Answer a few questions about form and size — or carat, colour and clarity for a diamond — and get an estimated value range, with the assumptions spelled out so you know what the number is and is not.
Magnetic field test
Your phone already has a magnetometer. Hold the stone against it and watch a live 20-second reading, then see whether the response looks non-magnetic, average or strong — with the safety notes that matter.
Inside the app
From a photo to something you keep
A result is only useful if it holds up. Each screen adds one more layer — the reference facts, the price, the record — without turning into a spreadsheet.
More than a name
Every entry carries the details a collector actually asks about: the chemical formula, Mohs hardness, typical colours, physical qualities and health notes, plus the chakra, element and zodiac associations that make a stone worth reading about.
- ✓ Formula, hardness and colour
- ✓ Chakra, element and zodiac layers
- ✓ Health and toxicity notes
A valuation with its working shown
Valuation asks before it guesses. Tell it whether the stone is raw, tumbled, a loose gemstone or set in jewellery, pick the closest size, and the estimate comes back as a range — never a single number pretending to be certain.
- ✓ Stone form and size questions
- ✓ Diamond carat, colour and clarity
- ✓ A range, with the caveats attached
Build a collection worth comparing
Add a stone and Rockipedia gives it a rarity level, a score and a place in the ranking. Record where it came from, what it cost, its size and your notes — so the collection becomes a record, not just a photo album.
- ✓ Rarity, score and ranking
- ✓ Locality, cost, size and notes
- ✓ History of every identification
The library
Reference material, not filler
Browse before you buy, after you dig, or when a stone in a shop window makes you curious. Searches cover rocks, stones and crystals by name.
Popular rocks & gems
IncludedStart from what people actually pick up: quartz varieties, amethyst, obsidian, jade, turquoise, hematite and more. Each entry is a full page, not a one-line caption.
Search by name
IncludedAlready know what you are holding? Search the library by rock, stone or crystal name and jump straight to the entry — no camera required.
Chakra, element, zodiac
ReferenceFor readers who care about the traditional side: which chakra a stone is associated with, its element, its zodiac links and its meaning, kept next to the mineralogy rather than instead of it.
Library coverage grows over time. If a stone is missing, the identify screen lets you correct the result and search for the right species.
Questions
Frequently asked
What is Rockipedia?
Rockipedia is an app for identifying rocks, stones and crystals from a photograph, reading their reference details, estimating what they might be worth, testing their magnetic response, and keeping a scored collection.
How accurate is the identification?
It is very good on clear photos of distinctive stones, and honest when it is unsure — you always see a best match plus alternatives. Lighting, blur, distance and having several stones in frame all reduce accuracy, so photograph the most colourful, patterned face of a single stone in good light.
If the result is wrong, use “Correct the result” on the identify screen: you can search the right species, or just change the display name.
How many identifications do I get for free?
Free accounts get a daily allowance, and the app tells you when it resets. Premium removes the limit entirely.
Is the valuation a real appraisal?
No. It is an estimate based on the stone, its form, its size and — for diamonds — carat, colour and clarity. Stone prices depend on far more than an app can see, so treat the range as a starting point and see a qualified appraiser for anything you are buying or selling seriously.
Do I need a magnet to use the magnetic field test?
No. The test uses the magnetometer already inside your phone. Bring the stone close to the device and watch the live reading; metal cases, magnetic mounts and nearby electronics will distort it, so treat the result as a relative comparison rather than a lab measurement.
What happens to the photos I take?
They are sent to our servers to be identified, and the results are stored in your history so you can revisit them. You can delete individual history entries, or delete your account and all of its data, from settings. The full detail is in our Privacy Policy.
How do I cancel Premium?
Subscriptions are handled by the App Store or Google Play, so cancellation happens there — on iOS in Settings → your name → Subscriptions, on Android in the Play Store under Payments & subscriptions. Cancelling stops the next renewal; it does not refund a period already started.
Which platforms are supported?
Rockipedia runs on iPhone and iPad, and on Android phones and tablets. The magnetometer test needs a device with a magnetic field sensor; where one is missing the app says so instead of guessing.
