PEN-DIOP-01
Pendant composed of a flat orbicular diorite of approximately 25-35mm.
Colors and patterns may vary from one stone to another.
Also called Corsite or Napoleonite, orbicular diorite presents characteristic spherical structures called orbicles. Its chemical composition is intermediate between a diorite and a gabbro. The light minerals are calcic plagioclase feldspars of the anorthite and bytownite type, the dark minerals are amphiboles of the hornblende type as well as pyroxenes. We know that orbicular diorite was used to make the tomb of Napoleon I in Les Invalides and the funeral chapel of the Medici in Florence.
