Slate
originates
from

the
world,
such
as
Spain,
England,
and South America.
It
is
found
in
large
quarries,
under
the
Earths
surface,
and
is
naturally
formed.
Slate
is
a
metamorphic
rock
that
is
formed
under
conditions
of
intense
high
heat
and
pressure,
slate
pieces
vary
in
colour
and
texture
depending
on the mineral and clay content.
