Identification Disclaimer

Last updated: June 2026

Please read how to interpret the identifications and notes RockLens shows.

For reference, not professional advice

All identifications and mineral notes shown in RockLens are for reference only. They are not a lab assay, gemological appraisal, or professional geological or safety advice.

Identification depends on photo quality and natural variation, and may be wrong — a photo can't measure hardness, density, streak, or chemistry. Some minerals are toxic, radioactive, or contain asbestos; never authenticate a gemstone or handle an unknown specimen based on an identification alone. When it matters, consult a qualified expert.
