Slate is a fine-grained, foliated, homogeneous metamorphic rock derived from an original shale-type sedimentary rock composed of clay or volcanic ash through low-grade regional metamorphism. It is the finest grained foliated metamorphic rock.[1] Foliation may not correspond to the original sedimentary layering, but instead is in planes perpendicular to the direction of metamorphic compression.[1]
Slate is Natural stone and very popular for its hard wearing attributes and its natural beauty. Generally slate tiles come in either coloured (containing greens and reds and blues) or black colour. They are also presented as either low honed, high honed or polished and exhibit a deep lustrous sheen when properly sealed for long lasting use.
