- Any metamorphic rock that can be split into thin layers
- The schists form a group of medium-grade metamorphic rocks, chiefly notable for the preponderance of lamellar minerals such as micas, chlorite, talc, hornblende, graphite, and others. ...
- Fine-grained rock, altered after formation by heat or pressure or both, so that mineral content is in roughly parallel layers. It can therefore be split into thin plates
- (2) -- laminated, easily splitting rock like slate (Vermeule, 387)
- Metamorphic rock composed of platy mica minerals aligned in the same direction.
- Any of a group of metamorphic rocks which may be split into plates or needle-shaped grains. Constituent elements may include mica, chlorite, talc or iron.

- Can be readily split into thin flakes or slabs due to more than 1/2 the minerals showing a well-developed parallelism.
- A form of complex metamorphic rock whose physical and chemical nature has been altered through heat, pressure or chemical reactions. Schists are high in minerals like mica, chlorite, talc and graphite which are often found as flaky layers. ...
