It is visibly crystalline and usually has a granular texture (composed of roughly equally sized crystals) although the appearance may vary widely. Its volcanic (fine-grained) analogue is andesite.</description><pubDate>Thu, 02 Apr 2026 21:52:00 GMT</pubDate></item><item><title>Diorite: The Coarse-Grained Igneous Rock - Rockhounding Wiki</title><link>https://rockhounding.org/wiki/rocks-metals-minerals-crystals-and-gemstones/rocks/diorite.html</link><description>Discover the properties, formation, and uses of diorite, a coarse-grained igneous rock known for its durability and distinctive salt-and-pepper appearance.
