Slate

Slate is frequently grey in color, especially when seen in masse covering roofs. However, slate occurs in a variety of colors even from a single locality; for example, slate from North Wales can be found in many shades of grey, from pale to dark, and may also be purple, green or cyan. Slate is not to be confused with shale, from which it may be formed, or schist. Ninety percent of Europe's natural slate used for roofing originates from Spain.

Slate is particularly suitable as a roofing material as it has an extremely low water absorption. Slate tiles are often used for interior and exterior flooring, stairs, walkways and wall cladding. High quality Slate can also be used for memorial stones.
