How our guides about rocks, crystals, and gemstones are made
How the identification guides and real examples about rocks, crystals, and gemstones on this site are made.
AI-assisted drafting, human curation
Our guides start from structured research into real questions about rocks, crystals, and gemstones. Drafts are written with the help of AI writing tools, and the Stone Identifier - Gemalyze team curates every page before it is published — with particular attention to luster, crystal habit, and streak-test results, the clues our readers rely on most.
Images
Hero and inline illustrations in our guides about rocks, crystals, and gemstones are AI-generated unless a caption says otherwise. They are meant to illustrate luster, crystal habit, and streak-test results, not to document a specific real item.
Limits and honest claims
Photo-based identification of rocks, crystals, and gemstones narrows down possibilities; it does not certify, appraise, or authenticate. Where a guide touches on value, safety, or authenticity, we point readers to a qualified professional for a final answer.
