Questions, answered
What is Crystalis?
Crystalis (on the stores as Crystalis: Crystal Identifier) identifies crystals, gemstones and minerals from a photo. Each scan returns a Stone Profile: the stone's name and family, Mohs hardness, likely origin, a care guide, an estimated value range, a line of lore and the visible traits behind the identification, with a confidence rating. The finds you save go into your Case.
What can it identify?
Crystals and quartz points, gemstones and cut stones, geodes, agates and tumbled stones, and mineral specimens. If the photo is not a crystal, gem or mineral, Crystalis says so instead of inventing a profile.
How accurate is it?
An identification from a photo is an estimate. Clean, well-lit stones usually read well; rough, weathered, small or unusual specimens are harder, and Crystalis lowers its confidence to match. For a definite answer, especially on a valuable piece, have the stone tested by a certified gemologist.
Is the value range an appraisal?
No. It is an AI estimate of what typical material like yours sells for, based on what is visible in the photo. It is useful context, not a certified appraisal, and it cannot confirm whether a stone is natural, treated or synthetic.
Is the lore health advice?
No. Each profile includes one short line of folklore or birthstone tradition — what a stone was prized for, or the month it belongs to. It is shared as culture and history, not as medical or health advice.
Is Crystalis free?
Crystalis is free to download, and your first identifications are free. Pro unlocks unlimited scans, AI gem chat and the full reference library, and removes ads; it comes weekly with a 3-day free trial, or yearly. If you only want the ads gone, there is also a one-time Remove Ads purchase.
Does it track me?
There is no account to create and no tracking across apps. Free users see non-personalized ads, and people in the EEA, the UK and Switzerland are asked for consent before any ad is shown. Your Case is stored on your phone.
Which devices does it run on?
Crystalis is made for iPhone and Android phones.
Crystalis gives AI-generated estimates for information and enjoyment. Identifications and value ranges are not a certified appraisal or an authentication — have a valuable stone checked by a certified gemologist. Lore and birthstone traditions are cultural, not medical advice.
