The broken bits of slate typically come from the process of quarrying, where large slabs of slate are extracted from the earth. These slabs can be fractured during extraction or transportation, resulting in smaller pieces. Additionally, slate can break down over time due to weathering or physical impact, producing smaller fragments. Often, these bits are used in construction, landscaping, or as decorative elements.

Why is slate used as chalkboards?
Slate's slightly coarse texture allows bits of chalk to 'stick' to board. Its foliation (process of splitting into thin sheets) allows it to be broken or cut easily into pieces ranging from a small student chalkboard - or as big as a giant chalkboard for the teacher to write on. Slate is also very durable, although now slate chalkboards are being overtaken by 'white boards' and SmartBoards.
