Limestone is a sedimentary rock that consists largely of calcium carbonate (calcite) with few grains of insoluble material included in it. It has no cleavage plane.

Slate is a metamorphic rock derived from shale, which consists of clay minerals (silicates) and a large proportion of tiny fragments of broken rock, such as silica or calcite. Slate consists of thin parallel layers, and is easily split in parallel to them.
