Abstract

The main objective of this work was to contribute to the knowledge of the geological resources of Trás-os-Montes and Alto Douro (TMAD) region, in particular of its “Xisto” (Portuguese word for “schist”, lato sensum), considering its economic and social impact. The target area is characterized by the abundant occurrence of different types of “schist”, belonging to the Variscan basement. This work is a contribution to improve the knowledge about mineralogy, fabric, chemistry and technology of the “schist”, in order to promote its exploitation and use as a natural stone. It was possible to identify the main factors that have an influence on the characteristics of all types of “schist”, conditioning its use as natural stone.
