Description
When speaking to Jim Lytell Marble and Stone Restoration, or your local company, it is useful to know about your slate floor. Your Naples and surrounding area slate floor is a siliceous metamorphic stone that has a sheet-like structure. It is composed of clay, quartz and shale, and comes in a multitude of colors. In terms of its mineral composition, slate is comprised primarily of quartz and mica minerals, including muscovite, illite, and/or biotite. It can also contain chlorite, hematite, or pyrite. The color of slate is determined by the color of the minerals in its parent rock, and can vary from shades of green to red, to gray/black. There are also intermediate colors that are sometimes found, including red-browns, green-blacks, and even occasionally shades of purple in certain parts of the world. Its strong and weather-resistant nature has made it an ideal choice for many applications. It is used for everything from flooring and flagging outdoors or indoors, fireplaces. Today most slate comes from the USA, Brazil, Wales and the United Kingdom, India, China, and South Africa.
