Slate is metamorphosed shale. Shale is a sedimentary rock that is composed of fine particles of clay minerals and mud that were transported and sorted by water. The color is a product of the type of clay and mud being transported and the time of its deposition.
Slate tile can be easily cut with a hand masonry saw using a blade with 14 teeth per inch (the coarser the teeth the better the cut). Scribe a line on the slate, whether it be a circle or straight, and cut through vertically.
Granite is expensive due to mining operational costs, fabrication costs, and shipping costs.
Slate is a sedimentary rock that can be split horizontally to produce smooth flat surfaces that is often used as a roofing material.
