How our guides are made
A short, honest summary of how the articles, identify guides, and examples on this site are produced.
AI-assisted drafting, human curation
Our guides start from structured research into real identification questions. Drafts are written with the help of AI writing tools, and the Stone Identifier - Gemalyze team curates every page before it is published: setting the outline, checking the claims we can verify, and cutting advice we cannot stand behind.
Images
Hero and inline illustrations in our guides are AI-generated unless a caption says otherwise. They are meant to illustrate visual clues, not to document a specific real item.
Limits and honest claims
Photo-based identification narrows down possibilities; it does not certify, appraise, or authenticate. Where a guide touches on value or authenticity, we point readers to a qualified professional for a final answer.
