What is Wonder Rock?
Wonder Rock is a geology companion for iPhone built around photo-based rock and mineral identification. Point your camera at any specimen and the app returns a match with research-backed details — mineral composition, formation, hardness, and estimated value. Each find can be geotagged so your field discoveries accumulate on a personal map over time, and the full collection stays searchable for reference. It's practical for hobbyist collectors heading out to dig sites, students studying earth science, hikers curious about what's underfoot, or anyone buying and selling specimens who wants a fast second opinion on what they're looking at.

Rock and mineral hobbyists use this iPhone app to identify specimens from a photo, log geotagged finds, and build a searchable collection.
