@vickyveritas.bsky.social Since you mentioned it....

Two pieces of slate from the only working slate quarry in Quebec: the Glendyne, in the Témiscouata area of the Appalachians. Pyrite occurs along select bedding planes, in this case a golden smear.

Two pieces of slate. The original sedimentary bedding is at an angle to the metamorphic foliation, which defines the slaty cleavage. Pyrite (cubes in the above photo, fine streaky aggregates in the lower) has crystallized along select bedding planes. Canadian quarter for scale.
