You know the coloured type slate you see around ornamental trees at garden centres etc? It's normally slightly greenish or purplish looking. Is this safe for fish tanks or does the colour come from some sort of lethal dye? Anyone know?

Slate that is naturally a certain colour is generally safe.
Slate that has been coloured is variable.
Just make sure you don't get shale, looks very similar but tends to break down very easily and leave a muddy mess.
