RE: Slate - lighter than granite? Description

Because of the "layered" structure of slate, it is able to span greater distances than most Granite (http://tanbrown.org) varities unsupported. We most often use a finished dimension of 1" thick for domestic slate Counter (http://GialloFiorito.com) tops. Slate, being softer than Granite (http://tanbrown.org) will scratch more easily, but is also easily repaired with items available at your local hardware store.
