Hard, silver-gray slate from the northern part of India near the Himalayas, however, is.   Jayme Sauder Posted on Wednesday, December 04, 2002 - 02:07 pm:        Vermont Specialty Slate, Inc. has launched a new network of slate websites.

It's distributed out of eastern Pennsylvania. Alden's slate is silver gray and he says it is shown to be a very high quality slate by testing. It's very hard. Call him at 301-952-0120.
