Slate Quality
The Portuguese slate, more specifically of Valongo, is known for its specific characteristics of the region where it is located and for the geological age of its quarries (Landeiliano Superior).
It is one of the most famous in the world for its quality, strength and color, making it perfect for processing into products such as school boards, plates, boards and others.
More about slate
Slates are defined as rocks that cleave into small leaves along a cleavage plane resulting from a flow of schist originated by a low degree or far below metamorphism due to tectonic compression. They originate from clay sedimentary rocks and belong petrographically to a class that begins at the boundary between sedimentary and metamorphic formations and ends in epizonal-metamorphic phyllite formations.
