Reshape this slate with a wet saw for slate strips or gently tap with hammer or hammer and hardie for fabulous irregular pieces. Just keep breaking down until you are happy with the tesserae shapes.
Thin shards of slate may be snapped easily if you so desire.
Slate may also be gently nipped with Leponitts and tile nippers. Shaping all depends on your mosaic of the moment!
