How rock identification works

1

Take a photo

Point your phone at the rock, crystal, or pebble — from the trail, the beach, or the bottom of a backpack — and snap it in the app.

2

Get an instant match

Snappit identifies the rock by photo and shows its name, what it’s made of, where it forms, and fun facts written for young readers.

3

Collect the card

Every rock you identify becomes a collectible card with a rarity tier from common to legendary. Build your rock collection, earn badges, and hunt for rare finds.
