None of those are Slate rock. They are all hardstone and made from the Ironstone/Waverly Sandstone I mentioned.

Reap, I find this ironstone here in NC. I think it's the same stone anyway. It will get a rust like patina that can be scraped off. Is this the same ironstone? If so, I've never seen it flaked. Cool!
