Natural banded slate slab with strong black linear streaks.
This is a solid piece of fine-grained metamorphic rock showing classic slate texture. The base color is medium to dark gray with prominent black carbonaceous (graphite-rich) banding running through it. The black streaks are aligned with the rock’s natural foliation.
When dry the surface has a matte to slightly silky look. When wet the banding becomes much more defined and the surface takes on a glossy sheen, as shown in the photos and video.
Measurements:
- Size: approximately 3 to 3.5 inches across
- Weight: 105 grams
This is a natural, unpolished specimen. The edges show the layered structure typical of slate. You will receive the exact piece shown in the photos and video (both dry and wet views included).
Please look at all photos and the video carefully as they form part of the description. Feel free to message with any questions before buying.
Thanks for looking!
