About RockHound-GO

RockHound-GO is a field-first companion app for rockhounds, amateur geologists, and curious explorers who love the thrill of finding something extraordinary in the dirt. The app helps you discover public mineral hotspots near you, identify specimens with on-device AI, and build a beautifully organized personal collection that grows with every trip.

We believe identification shouldn't require a lab. Point your phone at a rock, and the app will suggest likely minerals using a quantized neural network that runs locally — no signal required. When you're back in range, your finds sync to your collection, earn badges, and feed into your companion Amethyst, a gentle progress guide that learns alongside you.

RockHound-GO is for hobbyists planning weekend digs, students studying mineralogy, families exploring state parks, and serious collectors who want a digital field notebook that respects their time. Public-land overlays (BLM, USFS, state parks) and trust scores help you stay on the right side of access rules.

Built by a small independent team of developers, geologists, and outdoor enthusiasts, RockHound-GO is crafted with care and shaped by the community of rockhounds who use it. We listen, iterate quickly, and keep the app free of dark patterns. Every feature earns its place by helping you spend more time outside and less time fiddling with software.
