🪵 About Slate Stone
Slate is a fine-grained metamorphic natural stone formed over millions of years through the compression of clay, mud, and sedimentary rock under intense heat and pressure. This process allows slate to naturally split into thin, smooth layers, making it ideal for architectural and design applications.

Composed of minerals such as mica (sericite & muscovite), quartz, calcite, feldspar, and clay minerals, slate displays unique textures and tonal variations. Natural geological differences result in variations in hardness, density, and porosity—giving each slate stone its own character.
⛰️

⚙️ Physical Properties of Slate
🧪

Composition

Mica minerals (muscovite & sericite), quartz, clay minerals, hematite, chlorite, kaolinite, and other natural accessory minerals.
(Composition may vary by source.)

💎

Hardness

Ranges from soft, easily workable varieties to dense, granite-like slates depending on geological origin.

💧

Absorption

Low to medium absorption of water, oils, and other liquids.

🌦️

Weathering Behaviour

Performance varies by slate type. Natural cleft planes may allow moisture penetration, leading to surface flaking in certain environments. Slates with higher clay content may show faster wear in wet conditions.

🛢️

Tendencies

Softer and medium-density slates may absorb oils and scratch more easily if not properly sealed.

🎨

Colours

Naturally occurring variations across light, dark, and multi-colour palettes.

Finishes Available

Natural cleft · Honed · Brushed · Acrylic · Wax-treated
