What is the texture of slate and phyllite?
Slate has a smooth, fine-grained texture, characterized by its ability to break into thin, flat sheets due to its foliation. In contrast, phyllite has a slightly coarser texture than slate, often exhibiting a shiny or lustrous surface due to the presence of mica minerals, and it typically displays a wavy or crinkled appearance. Both rocks are metamorphic, but phyllite is formed under higher pressure and temperature conditions than slate.
