Product Overview
White Slate Sticks are refined, mineral-rich clay sticks crafted from finely powdered white slate dust with added slate crumbs. Hand-shaped into smooth elongated forms, these sticks feature pale chalk-white to soft grey tones that reflect the natural colour of raw shale stone. Their clean, elegant appearance and delicate structure create a soft, satisfying clay experience with a gentle crunch that quickly melts into a creamy crumble.
On bite, the sticks break down into a smooth, powdery paste that feels light, dry, and completely grit-free. The flavour captures the cool mineral essence of white slate, with subtle notes of fresh rain, whitewash, and soft basement air. When slightly moistened, the aroma deepens into familiar cement-like and mineral duct tones, creating a calm, atmospheric clay profile that many clay lovers associate with classic pale slate varieties.
