Trivia

  • In real life, diorite is an intrusive igneous rock, meaning that it is formed from magma (thus igneous) that has cooled and turned into rock below the surface of the earth (thus intrusive).
  • Diorite`s extrusive equivalent is andesite, meaning that andesite and diorite are made of the same minerals but andesite rocks formed outside the earth instead.
  • In other words, diorite is rock formed from cooled magma, and andesite is rock formed from cooled lava.
  • Diorite is composed mainly of feldspar and small amounts of quartz and other minerals. It is an extremely hard rock and difficult to carve and work with.
  • This tooltip contains detailed information about the plot of Minecraft: Story Mode that may spoil your enjoyment of the game itself. Please hover over at your own risk.
