90% of Europes's natural slate used for roofing originates from the slate industry in Spain, with the region of Galicia being the primary source of production. Slate is a fine-grained metamorphic rock that splits into thin, smooth-surfaced layers. Metamorphic rock is rock which was once igneous or sedimentary and has been subsequently subjected to heat and pressure in varying degrees thereby altering its composition, structure and appearance. It is used extensively in the building industry, particularly for roofing tiles. The production of slate is estimated at 4 million tons per year.

dbo:abstract
  • La industria de la pizarra en España lidera la producción y exportación de pizarra en el mundo,​ con una cuota mundial en torno al 90 % en el año 2000,​ siendo la región de Galicia la principal fuente de producción. La pizarra es una roca metamórfica de grano fino que se divide en capas delgadas y de superficie lisa. La roca metamórfica es una roca que alguna vez fue ígnea o sedimentaria y que posteriormente ha sido sometida a calor y presión en diversos grados, alterando así su composición, estructura y apariencia. Se usa ampliamente en la industria de la construcción, particularmente para tejas. La producción española de pizarra se estima en 4 millones de toneladas por año.​ (es)
