🔍 What is Slate and How is it Formed?
Slate is a fine-grained metamorphic rock with a natural plate-like structure and minimal recrystallization. It originates from:
- Argillaceous, silty, or neutral tuffaceous rocks
- Undergoes low-grade metamorphism
- Transforms through dehydration and geological pressure
The result? A dense, cryptocrystalline structure that can be split into thin, durable slabs. Slate typically appears with subtle mineral reflections and a silky sheen due to the presence of sericite and similar minerals.
🌈 Natural Color Varieties
Slate’s appearance is heavily influenced by its mineral impurities, giving rise to a spectrum of natural colors. Common types include:
- Black carbonaceous slate
- Gray-green calcareous slate
- Speckled slate (from low-grade thermal metamorphism)
Each tile is a unique piece of nature, blending harmoniously with modern and traditional designs.
