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.

Polished Diorite

Polished Diorite is a polished variant of diorite. It was also added in the same update as diorite. In the pocket edition, polished diorite could be crafted by using the stonecutter block. It is crafted by placing four diorite blocks in the crafting interface.

Trivia

• Diorite was released for the Minecraft: Pocket Edition before it was released for the PC version (except developmental builds).
• The polished variant of this could be crafted into stone slabs in the pocket edition; however, this may have been a bug in the game.
