Slate is made up of mostly of quartz and muscovite, often with some biotite, chlorite, and/or hematite. Small quantities of apatite, graphite, kaolin, magnetite, tourmaline, and zircon may also be present in measureable amounts.
Shale is composed of a mix of clay minerals and quartz and calcite. It is the most abundant form of sedimentary rock.
There is hipemondgosis, graphite, chalk,herminatopscelosis and calcium.
There are a variety of minerals found in slate. Some of these minerals include quartz, muscovite, as well as illite.
one mineral that slate contains is quartz.
Shale is formed from fine mud, clay, and silt. It has a smooth surface and can be split into layers. Shale may be red, brown, gray or black. Some have alternating dark and light layers.
Clay + chlorite, mica, quartz, biotite, hematite, pyrite
Slate is fine-grained metamorphic rock.
it is a rock.
It is in the sedimentary group
No. Shale is a rock.
Slate is a clay mineral rich metamorphic rock. Sandstone is a sedimentary rock typically composed of cemented small grains of the mineral quartz. The two are very different rocks, both in composition and processes of formation.
Well yes it is the floor is a mineral because its made out of Marble and Slate and Marble is a metamorphic rock and it has minerals like most rocks do So yes the floor is a mineral depends on its material (for example wood is not a mineral)
Slate is a low-grade metamorphic rock.
Slate is a rock of mixed mineral composition and does therefore does not possess a uniform Mohs hardness. Because of varying porosity along with other factors, the elastic modulus, or measurement of stiffness, of various slate specimens will vary.
Slate. Slate is a low grade metamorphic rock derived from shale or mudstone.
Streak color is used as an indicator in mineral identification. Slate is a rock composed of various types of minerals.
Take a slate and slide the mineral/rock on it to find its true color and its streak.

no slate is an igneous rock
Shale is a sedimentaory rock, while Slate is a metamorphic rock. Generally the shale is metamorphosed into slate.
Well yes it is the floor is a mineral because its made out of Marble and Slate and Marble is a metamorphic rock and it has minerals like most rocks do So yes the floor is a mineral depends on its material (for example wood is not a mineral)
No, slate is a metamorphic rock that is formed by shale
Slate is not a specific mineral, and thus has no particular chemical composition. It is a sedimentary rock, lightly metamorphosed, and formed from fine grained parent material. It may include fine fossils.
A metamorphic rock.
