IndianSlate in swimming pool bottom and sides Description

Dear Sir,
 
I wish to use a natural Indian slate, supplied from Rajasthan in India, for lining the bottom and (http://maplered.com) sides of my swimming pool, because of its exciting natural look. I am apprehensive because the slate (to be supplied in one square foot pieces) has a flaky rough side to be in the bottom cement base and (http://maplered.com) a slightly honed  top side. Is there  a  possibility of "flaking" off of sections on the rough bottom side, resulting in the main Stone (http://g603.net) detaching from the cement bottom? On the honed top side, will the lightly chlorinated water or any water likely to penetrate or erode and (http://maplered.com) thereby pit the top and (http://maplered.com) /or erode the slate edging and (http://maplered.com) the grouting, resultig in seepage below the pool floor? Is slate therefore a possible usable or desirable Material (http://g654.org) for pool bottoms and (http://maplered.com) sides? And if it is to be  used, what coating or sand (http://maplered.com) ing/honing is necessary to stabilise it sufficiently for it to last a long time? Are there different kinds of slate from different regions of India that have different characteristics and (http://maplered.com) what types of slate would be appropriate for this application?
 
If not slate, is there any other natural looking Stone (http://g603.net) that can be used in this application at a moderate cost?
 
Would appreciate an early answer.
 
Thank You,
 Regards,
