Product Overview
Slate is the result of the compression of shale, but is denser and retains the fissile properties, making for an interesting exercise when distinguishing between the two rocks. Ideal for exercises in metamorphic rock identification due to its recognizable platy foliation. While each specimen will vary slightly in shape, size and color, it will measure approximately 3" in length. Each is individually packaged, labeled & barcoded for easy identification and storage.
