Diorite Specimen (Igneous Rock), Hand Sample
A diorite hand sample, about 3–4 inches. Containing both mafic and felsic minerals, diorite sits between the two and is a clear example of intermediate igneous chemistry, ideal for lessons on bulk rock chemistry. Its large crystals can be identified with a hand lens, and comparing how much of each mineral is present gives a rough chemical make-up. Sized for classroom identification labs and aligned with NGSS evidence statements; supplied in a clear, labelled, barcoded bag.
