African Mazista West Country Floor Slate - Characteristics
This tough, durable slate has a black base colour with soft, circular shaped colours of gold, pink and sometimes green.
The slate is natural split on both sides so there is a choice of surface depending on which side has the preferred colour and texture.
West Country slate is suitable for all internal & external areas on any hard surface - sealed or unsealed. It can be used on both walls and floors.
Slate Flooring - Impeccable Environmental Credentials 
A measure of the environmental credentials of a building product is the involvement by man and process up to the point where it is fixed to a building. On that basis this slate is a clear winner.
The slate has a natural split surface which means it is split along natural cleavage lines and does not require expensive energy demanding, processing machinery to saw it. However, It does mean the thickness of the material varies a bit - naturally!

Mazista Slate Floor Tiles - Colours & Texture Enhanced with Natural Split Surface 
Slate splits naturally along planes reveals pallets of vivid colour not seen in stone with processed surfaces. The topography of the surface is intricate and has character, depth and grain - as you will see in the image below. Flakes of slate that are occasionally seen are evidence that the stone is high enough quality to split naturally and that it is genuinely slate.. The flakes if present, are easily removed prior to laying as explained in the FAQ section.
Sealants Can Enhance Slate Colour
The slate in the images below is the same. The only difference in the 2 images is that we have moistened the surface on the slate in the image on the right to demonstrate how some sealers enhance or slightly darken the slate colour.
Surface or topical sealants (eg Aqua Mix's Seal & Finish Low-Sheen or High Gloss Sealer) will result in either a low sheen or a gloss finish (see image on the right) depending on the outcome desired and the sealant used.
An enhanced colour with a mat finish like the slate on the right below can be achieved using Aqua Mix Enrich 'N' Seal which is a penetrating sealant.
