Best Answer

Flagstone is a very general term that denotes a large flat stone that is between one and four inches thick, especially one used for paving. Stones of this nature are created by splitting or cutting. The primary types of flagstones are sandstone, limestone, granite, slate or quartzite.

Slate, on the other hand, is a type of rock. You can make flagstones out of slate. Some flagstones are slate, but not all. Not all pieces of slate are flagstones.
