Advanced AI-powered stone identification by picture with 20+ years expertise. Get precise commercial naming, visual alternatives & complete processing solutions.

Professional stone identification has evolved beyond basic granite-versus-marble classification. Today's industrial applications demand precise commercial naming, alternative material recommendations, and complete processing solutions. According to the U.S. Geological Survey, rocks require examination from all perspectives for accurate identification, as photographs alone present significant limitations.
Our AI recognition technology combines with 20+ years of stone processing expertise to deliver complete solutions from identification to manufacturing. Unlike basic tools that provide generic classifications, we deliver specific commercial names (such as "Carrara White Marble" rather than "marble"), intelligent alternative recommendations, and direct supplier connections for large-scale projects. This bridges the gap between material discovery and profitable production.

How to Use Our Stone Identification Tool

Simple 3-Step Process for Accurate Results

Our stone identification by picture tool delivers professional results through a streamlined three-step process designed for both industry professionals and material specifiers. The system processes your uploaded images within seconds to provide comprehensive commercial naming and visual alternatives.

  1. Step 1: Upload Stone Pictures
    Select clear, high-resolution photos of your stone material. Ensure adequate lighting conditions and simple backgrounds for optimal recognition accuracy.
  2. Step 2: Quick Stone Identification
    Our AI system automatically analyzes visual characteristics including color patterns, texture variations, and grain structures to match similar stone materials.
  3. Step 3: View Stone Results
    Receive detailed results showing the identified commercial stone name plus visually similar alternatives with high-quality reference images.

Photo Quality Requirements for Best Results

Achieving accurate stone identification requires high-quality images that capture essential visual characteristics. Our system performs optimally when provided with properly captured stone samples that showcase natural patterns and textures.

  • Image Resolution: Use high-resolution photos (minimum 1024x768 pixels) to capture fine details and texture patterns essential for accurate identification
  • Natural Lighting: Photograph stones under natural daylight or full-spectrum lighting to ensure accurate color representation and pattern visibility
  • Surface Coverage: Capture larger surface areas (minimum 6x6 inches visible) to include characteristic patterns, veining, and grain structures
  • Background Simplicity: Use clean, neutral backgrounds (white or light gray) to eliminate visual distractions and enhance stone pattern recognition
  • File Specifications: Upload JPG or PNG formats with maximum file size of 10MB for optimal processing speed and quality

Avoid extreme angles, heavy shadows, or artificial lighting that can distort natural stone colors and patterns. For polished surfaces, minimize glare by positioning the stone at a slight angle to the light source.
