South Indian Slates

Slate is a fine-grained metamorphic rock of argillaceous origin formed by the composition of mud and stone sediment that splits into thin,smooth-surfaced layers.It is chemically a multi-mineral rock made of a composition of minerals and colloidal substances.The mineral composition essentially consists of members of Mica group commonly sericite & muscovite,and and accessory minerals such as oxides, calcites, minor amounts quarts and feldspar along with some contents of ferro-magnesium minerals. The content of silica is normally poor.The Clay group commonly consists of paragonite, chlorite &kaonilite. This fine grained meamorphic rock formed of above composition of minerals and other organic substances has been hardened by heat and pressure. Since the geolgical process varies greatly from place to place, its hardness and porosity varies quite a bit.

Slates characteristics vary with source. It may be black, green, yellow, brown, red or mottled and is relatively dense.Many slates that are available today have wide ranging physical characteristics and overall suitability.

The slate stone differs in its density, tensile strength, absorbency and abrasion resistance.
