Before you upload: the free identifier runs one scan per visitor every 24 hours and doesn't work over a VPN, proxy, Tor or Private Relay. Turn those off first and use a sharp, well-lit photo so the scan isn't wasted.

What one photo can tell you

A clear photo is enough to name most common crystals, like amethyst, rose quartz or labradorite. White, clear and grey stones are harder because many minerals look alike, so the result narrows those to a few candidates and tells you how to separate them.

  1. 01

    Take one clear photo

    Use daylight and a plain background, and show a natural face or a broken edge. Wet stones and filters change the color.

  2. 02

    Compare the look-alikes

    Hold the result up against the stone in your hand. Weight, temperature and a scratch test often settle it.

  3. 03

    Confirm before you pay

    Buying something expensive? Ask the seller where it was mined and whether it was treated, or get a lab report.
