Overview
Lithica Atlas is an independent, bilingual cross-platform mobile and desktop application designed for visual consultation of minerals, rocks, micrographic textures, and mineral deposit models.
It functions as an interactive scientific companion to the PetroPyQAPF ecosystem, using the same curated scientific reference content while keeping the public experience consistent across platforms.
Key Capabilities
- Bilingual Visual Catalog: Full support for Spanish and English descriptions, mineral properties, rock classifications (QAPF, Dunham, etc.), and optical petrography notes.
- Consistent Scientific Content: Uses one curated reference source to keep classifications, descriptions, citations, and terminology aligned.
- Offline Operation: Catalog information, approved images, tables, and search tools remain available without internet coverage.
- Unified Fast Search: Instant filtering across mineral names, chemical formulas, rock families, micrographic textures, and deposit types.
- Optional Google Sign-In: Integration with Firebase Authentication to verify identity while keeping all petrological data strictly local.
Privacy & Data Protection
Lithica Atlas keeps geological consultation local to the device. Search queries and scientific reference use are not uploaded as part of the catalog workflow.
