Slate is a sedimentary stone formed from volcanic ash, chalk, and clay. This rich, simple countertop material is identifiable by the thin sheeting layers that give unfinished Slate the look and texture of a topographical map. Slate countertops are sought after for their austere, tactile character, and while still a popular countertop option in a polished finish, Slate is most commonly installed honed (or, “matte”).
