You talk about a very fine slate type of stone which was sold years back from Olivia Seife, these were never prooved by their geologocal origin but sold as "Frankonians"....

The ones shown here are "real" Bavarian Frankonians under a geological Term which means the quarry actually still exists today in this region, but its hard to come over bigger sized stones, because you mainly find open waste material lying around....

The Frankonian and the Brown Frankonian ist still listed on Olivias Page for comparison shots:
