Slate is metamorphic rock which is impermeable, hard, close in texture, quick drying, frost resistant, fine grained and fissile. slate stones are argillaceous rocks having different grades of metamorphism. Commercially, the slates are defined as layered stone that can be split into slices of thickness ranging from 8 to 14 mm.

Slate Stone - Chemical & Physical Properties .............................................................
Slate is a fine-grained, homogeneous, sedimentary, multilayered rock composed of clay and mica group minerals.It may contain oxides, calcites, quartz and feldspar in varying amounts.The hardness, tensility, absorbency and abrasion resistance differ from slate to slate due to the process of hardening and formation they haveundergone and the relative amount of matters they consist of. The main discerning feature of slate stones are the colour which may be black,green or mottled. Color of slate stones gives considerable idea of the properties of the stone. - Origin: North India
- Maximum size available: 60x40cm, 40x40cm

Stone being a natural product, color variation from piece to piece is unavoidable. The pictures show general characteristics of color and marking.
