Shale and slate can be cleaved into thin sheets of rock.
Slate
granite

yes because it splits to thin elastic sheets
Muscovite mica has perfect cleavage in one direction. It splits into thin sheets.

i think what you are looking for is slate because it is a layered rock and the layers are very thin.
the metamorphic rock that is easily split is...A Mica, A Pumice and A Sulfur
Mica is made up of sheets of silicate

Slate is a hard, dark grey rock which splits into thin sheets (along a pronounced and dominant cleavage), which makes it very suitable for roofing material.
Slate is formed by heat and pressure on shale or mud stone. It splits into perfectly cleaved, broad thin sheets. It is a sedimentary rock made of volcanic ash.
