Cills,Slate Fireplace should not be confused with shale, from which it 


 


may be formed, or schist. Ninety percent of Europe's natural slate 


 


used for roofing originates from Spain. The word "slate" is also used 


 


for certain types of object made from slate rock. It may mean a single 


 


roofing tile made of slate, or a writing slate. This was traditionally a 


 


small smooth piece of the rock, often framed in wood, used with chalk 


 


as a notepad or chalk board. The phrases "clean slate" comes from this 


 


usage.
