When I have no clue what I found!

Well worth the site! Detailed information is excellent. Sometimes I get a different view and have wide variety of composition, but worth the extra effort to research.

I got this app because I am obsessed with all sorts of rocks. It’s great and all, but I expected it to show the price of the rocks I found.
