* Denotes the Primary chemical elements required by plants for normal growth.
* Slate contains 18.61% of the elements; Granite contains 2.13% of the elements.
* Granite is mainly Silica Dioxide at 77.64% with only very minor traces of chemical elements required for plant root and stem growth.

|
* Calcium is necessary for the formation of strong cell walls of plants. A lack of calcium may stunt plant growth.
* Magnesium forms the core of every molecule of chlorophyll and it is thus impossible for green plants to grow without it.
* Iron is necessary to form chlorophyll, which together with light, water, and air makes it possible for plants, through the
process of photosynthesis, to make food.
* Potassium strengthens plant stems, and improves the size, color, and flavor of fruits and vegetables.
* Phosphorous stimulates root growth, speeds the maturing of plants, and is particularly important in the formation of
fruits and seeds.
* Sulfur forms a part of several plant proteins and promotes the growth of roots and seeds.
