Raw Diorite, Igneous Rock Specimen, ± 1"

• DIORITE | 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
• GREAT FOR GEOLOGY CLASSROOMS | Ideal for identification & classification exercises. Diorite straddles the line between mafic and felsic rock chemistry, making it ideal for lessons in bulk chemistry
• GEOLOGIST SELECTED | Each specimen is selected and hand processed by an actual geologist, ensuring each sample exhibits defining features
• LOCALLY PROCESSED | Our rock and mineral samples are sourced from a variety of locations around the world and are processed in Victor, NY
• INDIVIDUALLY PACKAGED & LABELED | Each specimen sample is packaged in a transparent bag, and is labeled & barcoded for easy identification

Raw Diorite Specimen
Single Sample, 1"

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. Ideal for identification & classification exercises. Diorite straddles the line between mafic and felsic rock chemistry, making it ideal for lessons in bulk chemistry.
While each specimen will vary slightly in shape, size and color, it will measure approximately 1" in length. Each is individually packaged, labeled & barcoded for easy identification and storage.

Selected & Processed by a Geologist.
Each and every specimen is selected and hand processed by an actual geologist, ensuring that each sample exhibits defining features. Rocks and minerals are sourced from a variety of locations around the world and are processed by hand in Victor, NY.
