About
Crystal Guide® Pocket Edition is the official, licensed mobile reference app for anyone passionate about crystals, gemstones, rocks, and minerals. It combines an extensive A-Z encyclopedia of over 2,000 crystal names with rich geological and metaphysical data, making it equally useful for amateur rockhunters, professional geologists, and crystal healing practitioners. The app allows users to browse and search hundreds of detailed crystal profiles, each accompanied by imagery and in-depth data covering mineralogical properties, chakra associations, astral and zodiac information, birthstones, ailments, and spiritual uses. Advanced filtering lets users identify crystals by combinations of color, geological property, numerical association, and more. Collection management is a standout feature: users can catalog personal specimens with photos and notes, apply custom tags, group minerals into sets, and work through exclusive Crystal Guide® Collectors Series challenges — curated sets with a special showpiece crystal as the highlight of each series. Additional tools include a comprehensive gemological glossary, a facet gallery, side-by-side profile comparison, elixir advisories, and a community forum. Cloud backup keeps notes, favorites, and settings safe across devices. The app offers a dark mode for field use, widget integration, and free lifetime database updates — all in a fully ad-free, subscription-free, one-time purchase package.

Cons
- No AI-Powered Identification: Crystal identification relies on manual property filtering rather than AI-based photo recognition, requiring users to already know some basic details about their specimen.
- Niche Scope: The app is exclusively focused on crystals, gemstones, rocks, and minerals, limiting its utility to users with an interest in this specific domain.
