Needing a hearth for a coal fire and looking at slate as like both cost and finish.
In terms of a honed slate do they all tend to be quite soft and scratch easily, or does it depend on type? And is textured (riven?) better in that regard?
Generally most I have seen are dark grey to black, but how does that compare to the less common blue grey that I have seen occasionally?
thanks
