Fun Facts

💡 1

Slate was historically used to create blackboards for schools, earning it the nickname 'schist' in some regions, though it’s not actually related to the schist rock type.

💡 2

The natural cleavage of slate allows it to be split into thin, durable sheets, much like how a deck of cards can be fanned out.

💡 3

Slate’s smooth surface has been used for centuries to make well-known items like pool tables and tombstones.

Colors

Dominating the image are deep, muted blue-grey hues, characteristic of slate stone. These shades create a calming yet grounded atmosphere, reminiscent of a stormy sky.
