Best Answer

There is no specific or universal chemical formula for slate, because slate is formed up of various amounts of varying types of rock such as:

  • Quartz
  • Muscovite
  • Illite
  • Biotite
  • Chlorite
  • Hematite
  • Pyrite
  • Apatite
  • Graphite
  • Kaolin
  • Magnetite
  • Tourmaline
  • Zircon
  • Feldspar

In some locations, such as the mountains of Wales, slate also contains iron.

Because of the range of diversity of which slate is formed from - there is no universally accurate formula for slate in general.
