CrystalScanner.com instantly identifies and authenticates minerals using AI—no download or registration needed.
CrystalScanner.com is a specialized digital resource designed to bridge the gap between amateur rockhounding and professional mineralogy. Unlike traditional identification methods that require expensive lab equipment or deep academic knowledge, this platform leverages computer vision and geological AI to analyze specimens in seconds. Users can upload up to three photos of a stone, which the system then evaluates based on crystal habit, luster, transparency, and color zoning. The site features over 14 specialized tools, including dedicated scanners for diamonds, gold, turquoise, and meteorites, helping users distinguish genuine specimens from common fakes or simulants. Beyond simple identification, the platform serves as an educational hub, providing detailed reports on a stone's chemical properties, rarity, and collector value. It is uniquely accessible as it requires no registration, no app download, and is completely free to use.
