Description
Introduce your students or geology enthusiasts to Diorite, a striking coarse-grained igneous rock recognized for its distinctive black and white “salt and pepper” appearance. This pack includes 10 hand-selected specimens that are ideal for classroom demonstrations, hands-on study, or geological collections.
Diorite forms deep within the Earth’s crust through the slow cooling of magma, creating its unique interlocking texture of plagioclase feldspar mixed with darker minerals such as hornblende and biotite. Its contrasting colouration not only makes it visually engaging but also highlights the mineral diversity within igneous rocks.
Perfect for educational use, laboratory work, or personal collections, these specimens provide an authentic way to explore the processes of igneous rock formation. Each piece is durable, clearly identifiable, and ready to spark curiosity in the study of Earth sciences.
Bring the fascinating world of igneous geology into your classroom or collection with this 10-piece Diorite rock set, a reliable and visually appealing teaching resource.
