Bing put this image up today, from Greece, and I am confused as to how the rocks are so squared. Did people do that? Is it natural?
Shale = ~100% carbon.
Yes, it breaks that way due the way the carbon molecules bind to each other in a square grid.
Reeealy? That's kind of awesome. I'm going to have to see it in person some day, just like Giant's Causeway is on my list.
We have plenty of shale on our property here in Alberta and in the Rockies.
When I was going through the Kentucky Blue Ridge Mountains many years back there was red and green shale. It was like driving in Christmas Land or something.
Go to a flooring specialist. Most will have various shale tiles . Part of our basement is tiled in shale though I have no idea from where as the previous owners had it done.

@PhlipElder lots of shale back on our farm in NY, too!

I was right there but didn't get to stop and see it a number of years ago. Sometime I'll make it to the Causeway. It's so cool.
