Metamorphic rocks
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.
Marble is a type of metamorphic rock that is commonly used for sculptures, countertops, and flooring due to its distinctive veining and durability. Slate is a fine-grained metamorphic rock that is often used for roofing, flooring, and as a chalkboard surface because of its durability and ability to split into thin sheets.
Some examples of foliated rocks include slate, phyllite, schist, and gneiss. Amphibolite can be either foliated or nonfoliated. Examples of nonfoliated rocks include anthracite coal, hornfels, serpentinite, soapstone, quartzite, marble, and metaconglomerate.
Shale is a sedimentary rock, not a metamorphic rock.
It would depend on which metamorphic rock. Slate is in demand as a high-end roofing product and paver stone. Marble is used in sculpture, countertops, and flooring. Anthracite is considered the premier coal type. Most rocks, in fact, have some sort of economic usefulness; some more than others.

Marble and slate
Yes, Marble is formed from Limestone, but not Slate.
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.

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.
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.
