In fountains, slate is a flat stone that gets its depth and richness from the subtle color variations within the stone. The uneven texture of slate creates visual interest that adds to the sense of uniqueness. Working with slate opens up a host of possibilities for the fountain designer.
Some pieces of slate in garden fountains have images or inspirational messages printed on them. Other garden fountains let the natural beauty of slate be the focus without any adornment. Because slate can be cut into narrow strips, slate garden fountains frequently take on the form of wall fountains or desktop size fountains. Any style of fountain that incorporates slate materials is sure to be unique.
