Slate pencils in different regions are made from different substances.
Slate pencils in India(more specifically southern India) are made from a type of sedimentary rock known as Shale, which is composed of mud that is a mixture of clay minerals (kaolinite, montmorillonite and illite) and small quantities of other minerals especially quartz and calcite. The ratio of clay to the other minerals gives the shale its colour. Shale from which slate pencils are made, are light gray in colour.
Slate pencils in certain other parts of India are made from soft Soapstone, which is a metamorphic rock, composed dominantly of talc.
Slate pencils are made using a mixture of powdered soapstone and clay. The clay helps to bind the ingredients together, while the soapstone adds strength and texture to create a smooth writing surface on slate boards. Occasionally, a small amount of vegetable oil or wax may be added to the mixture to improve the writing experience.
