Diorite is a type of rock that is gray to dark-gray in color. It is commonly used in construction and as an ornamental stone. Diorite forms from the cooling of magma deep underground.
The Diorite has a distinctive 'salt and pepper' appearance, mixing pale white or gray minerals with dark black crystals. This speckled look sets it apart from solid-colored rocks.
