How to Use the Crystal Identifier

Using our free Crystal Identifier is simple. Place your crystal on a clean white or neutral surface and take a clear, close-up photo in natural daylight — avoid using flash as it creates glare on crystal surfaces. Upload the photo to our tool above and click Identify. Our AI analyzes dozens of visual features and delivers a complete crystal identification report in under 5 seconds.

For the most accurate results, photograph your crystal from multiple angles and in good lighting. Include a size reference if possible — a coin or ruler next to the crystal helps the AI estimate physical dimensions for more precise identification. Clear, raw, and tumbled stones can all be identified effectively.

Crystal Identification for Collectors and Healers

Whether you are building a crystal collection, practicing crystal healing, sorting through an estate sale, or simply found an interesting rock on a hike, our AI Crystal Identifier delivers instant professional-level mineral identification. Knowing the exact mineral species, hardness, and properties helps collectors make informed purchasing decisions and healers choose the right stones for their practice.

Crystal markets are unfortunately full of mislabeled or artificially dyed stones sold under incorrect names. Our Crystal Identifier helps you verify what you have actually purchased. Common deceptions include dyed Howlite sold as Turquoise, heat-treated Amethyst sold as Citrine, and glass sold as natural crystals. Our AI analyzes optical properties that help distinguish natural crystals from treated or synthetic imitations.
