schist
It is a medium-grade metamorphic rock with a preponderance of the platy mineral graphite.
Yes, schist is typically porous due to its layered composition of minerals. The porosity of schist can vary depending on the specific mineral content and the degree of metamorphism it has undergone.
The metamorphic rock that typically has a uniform consistency is called "schist." Schist is characterized by its well-aligned mineral grains, which often gives it a foliated texture. However, in some cases, schist can exhibit a more uniform appearance if the minerals are evenly distributed. Another example could be "gneiss," which also can have a banded but somewhat uniform texture depending on the mineral composition and degree of metamorphism.
Schist rocks can be both permeable and impermeable, depending on factors such as the size and arrangement of mineral grains, the presence of fractures or faults, and the level of metamorphism they have undergone. In general, schist rocks tend to have higher permeability compared to other metamorphic rocks such as gneiss or marble.
No it is a rock
Schist is mainly used as a decorative stone or as a mineral source.

The color of schist depends on its mineral composition. It can be gray, yellow, light or dark green, brown, or even black.
The mineral common in schist and gneiss but not common in slate and phyllite is garnet. Garnet typically forms in higher-grade metamorphic rocks such as schist and gneiss due to the increased temperature and pressure conditions necessary for its formation.
Regional metamorphism would result in the formation of schist. Schist is a metamorphic rock that forms under high pressure and temperature conditions over a large area, which is characteristic of regional metamorphism. This process causes the original minerals in the rock to recrystallize into new minerals, giving schist its foliated texture.
Not a mineral but a rock. Schist comes asfter phyllite ut before gneiss.
A rock with long flat mineral grains is likely to be schist. Schist is a metamorphic rock characterized by its foliated texture, with mineral grains aligned in a parallel fashion, giving it a distinct layered appearance.
Statice is a talc-schist with magnesium, not a true mineral.
Garnet schist does not typically react with hydrochloric acid, as the garnet in the schist is a stable mineral that is not easily dissolved by acid. Schist is a metamorphic rock composed of minerals like mica, quartz, and feldspar that are generally resistant to chemical weathering.
