Show HN: Turn mineral collections into 3D virtual museums

This project was born out of a desire to convert my mineral and rock collection into a virtual 3D archive that I can carry around and share. The concept is simple: I take one or more photos of my stones and crystals, and the app generates an HD 3D model while also classifying the rock using a local model (HF-CLIP WASM) directly in the browser. I can then view my collection and share it at exhibitions. The plan is to subsequently implement an NFT system to ensure traceability and uniqueness.

Demo: https://geo.insightest.app

(A quick Supabase login is currently required to save specimens to a persistent virtual shelf).

I'd appreciate any feedback on the WebGL rendering pipeline, lighting setups for crystalline textures, or mobile performance issues.
