we all just loved this stuff.

Phyllite is a type of foliated metamorphic rock created from slate that is further metamorphosed so that very fine grained white mica achieves a preferred orientation. It is primarily composed of quartz, sericite mica, and chlorite.

Name origin: The term of phyllite comes from the Greek phyllon, meaning “leaf”.

Colour: Black to gray or light greenish gray in color, Shiny Gray

Phyllite is lustrous sheen rock. So it is often used as a decorative stone in countertops.

Phyllite may be used as decorative aggregates, floor tiles, and other interior home decorations or used as exterior building or facing stone, and garden decorations.
