Our Story

Built by rockhounds,
for rockhounds

We believe rock hunting should be as accessible as hiking. Our mission is to turn every outdoor adventure into a treasure hunt.

From a weekend hobby to a worldwide community

It started on a hiking trip. We found an unusual rock, took a photo, and spent hours trying to identify it online. There had to be a better way.

We built Rockhound to solve our own problem: instant identification, GPS tracking for our finds, and a way to build a digital collection. What we didn't expect was how many others were looking for the same thing.

Today, thousands of rockhounds use the app to explore, identify, and collect. Every weekend, families discover the joy of rock hunting together. Kids learn about geology without even realizing it.

What we believe

Nature first

We encourage responsible collecting. Leave no trace, respect protected areas, and always ask permission on private land.

Community driven

Rock hunting is better together. Share spots, learn from others, and be part of a community that gets excited about rocks.

Always learning

Every rock tells a story millions of years in the making. We're here to help you read those stories and never stop learning.
