Schist is a type of rock that forms in layers. It can be shiny and smooth, and is often used in buildings and sculptures for its unique texture and patterns.
The Schist has a distinct wavy or parallel layering, often appearing silvery or greenish due to abundant mica minerals. Its surface frequently sparkles from these tiny, reflective flakes, making it easy to spot.
