12 Pack – Raw Diorite, Igneous Rock Specimens – Approx. 1″

Raw Diorite Specimen
Set of 12 Samples, 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. Set is packaged in a transparent bag, 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.
