| - [Source] Diorite, along with feldspar, was one of the primary components of the mantle of the moon, Endor.
- Diorite is an enemy in Final Fantasy Dimensions. Its Defense is quite high, and it can cast Protect to make it harder to damage this foe by physical attack. Defeating it with strong spells is much more easier.
- Diorite is a block added in Snapshot 14w02a for Minecraft. It is found underground at any level and appears bright white with cracks, almost like Cobblestone. It is purely decorative and does not have any special properties.
- Diorite is a black or blue-gray igneous rock with a greenish tint and "salt and pepper" appearance composed of plagioclase, biotite, hornblende, and pyroxene. It is usually found in granite or gabbro intrusions, often in volcanic arcs or areas with cordilleran mountain building going on. It can be found worldwide, but is relatively uncommon. Diorite is a very hard rock, which makes it difficult to carve.
- Diorite is a block that closely resembles Granite and Gravel. Normal Diorite can be found underground in any Biome, usually in large chains. It is usually exposed on the surface in Extreme Hills Biomes.
- Diorite is a Block that was added in Update 0.9.0 of Minecraft Pocket Edition.
- Diorite is a grey to dark grey intermediate intrusive igneous rock composed principally of plagioclase feldspar (typically andesine), biotite, hornblende, and/or pyroxene. It may contain small amounts of quartz, microcline and olivine. Zircon, apatite, sphene, magnetite, ilmenite and sulfides occur as accessory minerals. It can also be black or bluish-grey, and frequently has a greenish cast. Varieties deficient in hornblende and other dark minerals are called leucodiorite. When olivine and more iron-rich augite are present, the rock grades into ferrodiorite, which is transitional to gabbro. The presence of significant quartz makes the rock type quartz-diorite (>5% quartz) or tonalite (>20% quartz), and if orthoclase (potassium feldspar) is present at greater than ten percent the rock typ
