Slate Tile History

Unearthed from 250 Million Years Ago

The Historical Hawaiian Stone Art slate presents inspiring artwork meticulously crafted from slate that dates back an astonishing 250 million years, serving as a remarkable testament to the Earth’s ancient history. This extraordinary slate was born from the immense pressure exerted by a glacier that once towered three miles high, resulting in a unique geological masterpiece that captivates the imagination. Embedded within this ancient material is a treasure trove of captivating evidence, including trace fossils that unveil remnants of prehistoric plants and animals, alongside intriguing mineral deposits that narrate the epic story of the Earth’s evolution over eons. Among the remarkable discoveries in this region is a petrified jawbone of a whale, unearthed from a nearby quarry, which adds significant geological importance and profound depth to our understanding of the natural history that has intricately shaped this extraordinary landscape.
