Phyllite is a type of metamorphic rock that forms from shale. It has a shiny surface and is often used in construction and landscaping.
The Phyllite has a distinctive silvery-gray to greenish sheen, like silk catching the light. Its surface often shows fine, wavy layers, making it look slightly crinkled or foliated. It's visually different from slate due to its stronger, pearly luster.
