VERY neat - does what it says.... had a few choice specimens laying around my backyard I was curious about. if you're the adventurous type this would be great fun. I rarely go out so $30 for a rock hound app I'm rarely able to use is not what I'm looking for. I'm not going to pay for the premium but it's a will put together app and in fact does what it advertised!

Yes. High price for this app, I went through my semi large collection of rocks and jewelry pieces. There are wrong identifications, but you quickly see what throws off the accuracy. I was amused and chagrined to learn my specimens of asteroid were not. It was correct in my nice specimen of moldavite, while also identifying a little ring i had thought was moldavite as a more common specimen. Let me know my fun but inexpensive amber was plastic. Nice to re-identify specimens. Worth it!
