FAQ — Rock ID
How accurate is Rock ID?
Rock ID is an AI-assisted identification tool. It is useful for common prospecting minerals but should not replace formal geological analysis for critical decisions. It is a field aid, not a laboratory.
Does Rock ID work offline?
Rock ID requires an internet connection for the AI analysis. Basic identification of common minerals works best in good lighting with a clear image.
