Rockhounding Map
Sites, access, collecting rules, clubs, and evidence attached to every location.
The Dig
Get it out without breaking it.
There is one specimen under this ground and you do not know where. Pick, chisel, brush or probe your way to it on a limited budget of effort. The pick is fast and it does not care what it hits, and a soft mineral does not survive being hit.

The next tools should begin with a real field, shop, or workshop task—not a generic app format.
Specimen ID
An explainable evidence graph that carries uncertainty forward instead of hiding it.
Equipment Compare
Match machines, abrasives, budgets, and material to the work someone actually wants to do.
Rockhound
Private locations, field tests, permissions, images, and later identification in one record.
Lithos
Minerals crossed with deep time, geography, labor, material culture, and excellent tangents. The first of it is live at Stories.
Pixel Art Math
Crystal symmetry, coordinates, tiling, and color rules as a visual mathematics tool.
