Betty if the slate is rough it is not slippery.

I have a small bath and my front entrance in slate. Heres a pic of the bath.There are actually some fossils in one of the tiles .

However what I wanted to recommend is that you put heat underneath. Slate takes on the temp of the room around it. I have a small heating 'pad' in the bathroom - I think it was only 3x3- we did not need to cover the whole floor just in front of the toilet and sink and it is wonderful. Wish I could have done same in front hall but no electrical access there. And I am sorry I did not do it under the vinyl in my kitchen just along the front of the cupboards.
