This App gives you information and pictures of the most common types of samples collected, such as Garnets, Agates, Geodes. It is not cluttered with information about samples that rock hounds are not interested in. Who is looking for Allanite or Manganbabingtonite?

- Submit your additions, so they may be included in future versions of this App. Share your knowledge with others.

- Tips section gives information about collecting as well as App specific information.

- Full screen pictures viewable in Landscape or Portrait mode.

If you have an iPhone, you may be interested in the app "RockHound", which contains GPS data of collection sites and what you will find there, along with this module for identification. The RockHound app will not work on the iPod Touch, since the GPS data is critical for its use.

Very handy app for any geology lab class (3 stars)
Very handy app for high school earth science and college geology lab class. However, it's not as good as the Audubon Society Field Guide to North American Rocks and MInerals handbook.
