Slatestone is a very fine grained metamorphic
rock derived from the sedimentary rock 'shale'. Slate
is composed mostly of mica, chlorite and quartz. Shale
is subject to heat and pressure and the fine particles
are "melted" together to form slate.
Slate is characterized by a sub parallel orientation which
imparts a strong parallel cleavage to the rock which allows
the slate rock to be split into thin but tough sheets
of slate. Slate has a fine to medium grained surface texture
and has an excellent shining property.
