Overview
RockPic (aka Rock Identifier / RockPic) is an AI-driven identification app and service that lets users identify stones, gems, fossils, crystals and jewelry from photos. The tool analyzes images with an AI image pipeline (privacy policy indicates use of OpenAI’s API) to provide identifications, rarity and magnetism indicators, likely composition, possible origin/formation context, alternative names, and common uses. In addition to identification, RockPic includes collection-management capabilities (catalog, tags, notes, photos) and tools for organization and sharing. The product is positioned for hobbyists, students, educators, and professionals and is available as a free app with in‑app pro features and subscription/lifetime options listed on app stores.
