Description

Diorite sample approximately 3-4" in size
Presence of both mafic and felsic minerals make diorite a perfect example of intermediate igneous chemistry
Perfect size for use in classroom identification labs and exercises, correlates well to Next Generation Science Standards Evidence Statements
Large crystal size accommodates mineral identification with a hand lens
Specimen comes in clear labeled and barcoded bag for ideal storage

Diorite straddles the line between mafic and felsic rock chemistry, making it ideal for lessons in bulk chemistry. The minerals within diorite can be readily identified due to their large size, and by comparing the relative abundance of each mineral, a rough chemical makeup can be obtained.
