Slate is a foliated (displaying layers or banding) metamorphic rock, and its parent rock was shale or mudstone. Marble is a non-foliated metamorphic rock (no layers or bands) and its parent rock was limestone.
Marble and slate
Yes, Marble is formed from Limestone, but not Slate.
Slate and marble are examples of metamorphic rocks. They are formed when existing rocks undergo high temperatures and pressures, causing them to recrystallize into new forms with different characteristics.
With all the research I have done, I am pretty sure that you can use slate cleaner on marble.

Marble and slate are both used by humans in buildings. Marble is used to make a number of items such as flooring and countertops. Slate is used primarily for roofing shingles.
Marble typically weathers faster than slate due to its composition, which is more prone to erosion and weathering when exposed to outdoor elements. Slate, on the other hand, is known for its durability and resistance to weathering, making it a popular material for outdoor applications such as roofing and paving.
Slate is a fine-grained metamorphic rock typically used for roofing and flooring due to its durability and resistance to water. Marble is a metamorphic rock prized for its beauty and often used in sculpture and building materials. An example of both slate and marble in use would be a slate roof on a house and a marble statue in a museum.
