Slate pencils are made from a type of sedimentary rock known as Shale, which is composed of mud that is a mixture of clay minerals (kaolinite, montmorillonite and illite) and small quantities of other minerals especially quartz and calcite. The ratio of clay to the other minerals gives the shale its colour. Shale from which slate pencils are made, are light gray in colour.
Slate pencils in some regions are made from soft Soapstone, which is a metamorphic rock, composed dominantly of talc.
Your eating them shows that you have a condition called PICA. It usually occurs in a person who has a mineral deficiency. Since the main ingredient in slate pencils is either clay or talc, they tend to reduce ones appetite, and more seriously reduce the absorption of iron in your body and make a person drastically anemic.
I have personally experienced this and so can tell with a certain degree of certainity. I used to eat slate pencils at the rate of a box per day(20 pieces), and finally after a while I was diagnosed with Iron deficiency anemia. My haemoglobin levels dropped to half the normal range.
I would advise anyone who has been eating slate pencils or having the urge to eat them, to visit a doctor as soon as possible and get ur CBC test done to determine your haemoglobin levels before it is too late. Correct whatever mineral deficiency you have and once that is corrected the craving to eat slate pencils will automatically vanish and until then please exert ur will power and stop eating those slate pencils.
Gud luck and stay strong.

Slate pencils are made using a mixture of powdered soapstone and clay.

The rocks are mined and they are cut into manageable slabs and then further cut into the required shape and size, usually 6 inch long rectangular pencils. Slate pencils in India(more specifically southern India) are made from a type of sedimentary rock known as Shale, which is composed of mud that is a mixture of clay minerals (kaolinite, montmorillonite and illite) and small quantities of other minerals especially quartz and calcite. The ratio of clay to the other minerals gives the shale its colour. Shale from which slate pencils are made, are light gray in colour.

Do all pencils including flat carpenter pencils have graphite in them?
YES! Apart from wax pencils used for marking glass etc, and wax pencils used in colouring a drawing.And I'd forgotten the slate pencils I used at school. And since they Seem to be missing from the Wikipedia article on pencils, here a few comments.[A slate pencil was used in conjunction with a slate board. [I use imperial measures as metric seems incongruous in this context.] The board was, from ancient memory, [must do some research] a piece of smooth slate, about 8 inches long and 6 inches wide. Set into a slender protective wooden frame. The pencil was also a piece of slate formed into a rod about the size of a normal pencil, but perhaps 5 inches long. This was wrapped in paper and could be sharpened in a normal pencil sharpener.This was used for children practicing writing. The marks made on the slate surface contrasted well with the background and could be easily removed with a soft cloth or a wet wiping. ]
