    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Schist

    Schistosity is a thin layering of the rock produced by metamorphism (a foliation) that permits the rock to easily be split into flakes or slabs less than 5 to 10 millimeters (0.2 to 0.4 in) thick. [ 4 ] [ 5 ] The mineral grains in a schist are typically from 0.25 to 2 millimeters (0.01 to 0.08 in) in size [ 6 ] and so are easily seen with a 10 ...
