Natural Slate · Quarry-Direct Since 1996
A fine-grained metamorphic stone that splits into naturally textured sheets — low-porosity, hard-wearing and rich in colour. Ideal for cladding, flooring, roofing and water features, indoors and out.
Slate is naturally cleft, so every tile carries its own surface relief and tonal shift. Colours photograph flatter than they read in person — we recommend samples before specifying at scale.
Product photography is being finalised — swatch images will drop into these cards shortly. Request a current slab/tile photo for any colour below.
About the Stone
Slate is a fine-grained metamorphic rock, formed when clay-rich sediments or volcanic ash are compressed under heat and pressure. That origin gives it a defining property — foliation — which lets it split cleanly into thin, naturally textured sheets. The riven surface is grippy underfoot and full of character, while the stone itself is dense, low in porosity and highly resistant to water and staining.
Our slate is quarried across the Rajasthan belt — Ajmer, Alwar, Bharatpur, Tonk, Udaipur and Chittorgarh — and from South Indian quarries around Markapur in Andhra Pradesh. Colours range from deep Jak Black and Black Rustic through the warm golds and rusts of Vijaya Gold and Autumn, to the greens of D Green and Markapur Green and the shifting tones of Jak Multicolour.
We supply slate as natural-cleft and calibrated tiles, in regular sizes and cut-to-size, finished natural, honed, brushed or polished. Everything is crated in seaworthy packing and shipped quarry-direct from our units — a format equally at home on a feature wall, a patio, a pool surround or a roof.

Yes. Slate is dense and low in porosity, which makes it hard-wearing and resistant to water and staining. It is widely used outdoors for wall cladding, patios, pool surrounds, stepping stones and roofing, as well as indoors on floors and feature walls.
Natural cleft keeps the stone's own riven surface, so thickness varies slightly tile to tile and the texture is pronounced. Calibrated slate is ground to a consistent thickness on the back (and sometimes the face) for easier, faster fixing — useful for large wall and floor areas.
Quality Indian slate holds its colour well. Multicolour slates like Vijaya Gold and Jak Multi can mellow slightly outdoors over years of weathering; a stone sealer helps preserve the original depth and brings out the tones. Blacks and greens are very stable.
Common sizes are 30×15, 60×15, 30×30 and 60×60 cm, in thicknesses from around 8 to 20mm, with calibrated options and cut-to-size available. Tell us your application and we will recommend the right format.
We have exported natural stone since 1996 from our own units in Kota. We source slate directly from the quarries, process and calibrate in-house, and ship in seaworthy crates quarry-direct — giving you consistent colour and thickness without middlemen.
Buyers who specify slate often pair it with these. All quarry-direct, all shipped together.
