Questions from collectors
Before you pack your field bag.
When will RockClue launch?+
Early access will open in stages while the map, identifier, community, and marketplace are tested with real collectors. Waitlist members will hear first.
Will it be available on iPhone and Android?+
The goal is to support both. Selecting your platform on the waitlist helps prioritize invitations and testing.
Can the identifier guarantee a rock’s identity or value?+
No photo tool can guarantee an identification or appraisal. RockClue will provide likely matches and educational clues, while collectors can offer additional perspectives.
Will exact collecting locations be public?+
Not automatically. RockClue is being designed with permission notes, private finds, approximate locations, and controls for environmentally sensitive sites.
How will marketplace trust work?+
The plan includes detailed listings, seller profiles, reporting tools, and community signals. Exact policies will be tested before public launch.
