It looks like Vermont Black from Newmont. Newmont hammer drills their slate so that there is a counter sink. The holes look drilled not punched, and there's a counter sink.   Slate_man (Slate_man) Senior Member Username: Slate_man Post Number: 739 Registered: 01-2007 Posted on Wednesday, May 16, 2012 - 07:52 pm:        From what I see here Vermont Strata Gray or Mottled Gray/ Black Roof Slates. Drills are commenly use all over in the Slate Valley. Newmont slate maybe!   Old_school (Old_school) Senior Member Username: Old_school Post Number: 817 Registered: 01-2009 Posted on Wednesday, May 16, 2012 - 07:02 pm:        It looks like it was drilled instead of punched. Is it exactly inch sizes or is it metric? that would narrow it down a bit. The holes are awfully close to the sides too. Maybe Brazilian?   Joe (Joe) Moderator Username: Joe Post Number: 685 Registered: 07-2006 Posted on Wednesday, May 16, 2012 - 03:22 pm:        Installed approximately 2006 in NJ, USA.
