Schist, a New Zealand natural stone  for landscaping and walling

Schist is a metamorphic layer rock that is not typically dimensioned, with a split face.

Alpine schist is multicolored featuring green, grey and whites while Waitaha schist is sparkling grey in colour while Westland schist has gold flecks and is predominantly grey, they are all extremely durable.

Waitaha and Alpine Schist are both derived from the West coast of New Zealand's South island rivers. Westland schist is from the West Coast region of the south island.

Schist lends itself towards landscaping and walling applications which creates detail and beauty. It can also be used for flooring, paving, driveways.
