The foliated metamorphic rock called phyllite has a green color. It is used in countertops and building facades. Other uses include decorative garden rock and when crushed, it is used as bedding and gravel.

Phyllite is a type of metamorphic rock that comes from adding heat, pressure, and/or chemically active fluids to slate. Slate is the parent, or originial, type of rock from which the phyllite forms. It could also be said that slate recrystallizes into phyllite. Slate is also a metamorphic rock that starts out as the sedimentary rock called shale. Therefore, phyllite comes from slate, which comes from shale. Phyllite is different from slate because it has been metamorphosed more. As a result, the straight lines/planes (called foliation) that slate breaks along, are absent in phyllite, which is distinctly wavy in appearance. If more metamorphism is applied to phyllite, it recrystallizes into schist.
