Chiastolite slate is rock formed by contact metamorphism of carbonaceous shale, characterized by prominent cleavage or schistosity and the presence of conspicuous chiastolite crystals in a fine-grained matrix, the rock, unlike the classic slate is actually quite soft and friable. Chiastolite is a variant of the mineral andalusite and is present in these samples as numerous thin, white lines with random orientation, with their presence indicating peak temperatures.
