It is important to realize a few things about slate: Natural slate is a microcrystalline, fne-grained rock formed 400 to 550 million years ago, with its beginnings as sedimentary silt washed into ancient seas. As such, a piece of slate on one side of an 8” thick boulder may have formed 15 million years before or afer the slate on the other side of the same block. Thus the elements in the stone can be slightly diferent. Each piece of slate is unique and variatons can occur in the way a stone will weather on the roof. While experience with each stone provides a predictable patern of weathering, natural slate can never be guaranteed not to have some color and weathering variatons that are unforeseen. It is a quality that makes each slate roof unique and must always be considered in the decision to use natu- ral stone on your roof.
