Slate?

Well done! Interested in the slate used--what is it, and is it a rough or honed texture? Thanks!

The wall tile is a porcelain textured tile, while the shower floor is a quartzite for the texture and grip. This was a remodel for handicap needs and the quartzite provides the needed grip that slate and porcelain can not give.
