Has the shape of a bagel but none of the steam.
Summary
Crystal is an AI-powered mobile app developed by indie developer Hakim that lets users identify rocks, crystals, gemstones, and minerals instantly by taking or uploading a photo.

Key quotes

Most tools felt outdated, complicated, or too focused on experts.
So I wanted to build something simple: take a photo → instantly identify the stone → learn its story.
