    not sure what is "natural cleft" but I have 2 sources, old pool tables and blackboards, I get the later from a demo recycle store in town

      Natural cleft is not smooth.  The slate has worn or split off an rough/ uneven layers.  Very nice as shingles or flooring.  May not be good for tables on which you intend to place stemmed wine glasses.
