Slate mulch comes in different colours - grey, green and purple, being sold by the bag in most garden centres. However, if you are embarking on a large landscaping project, it will be considerably cheaper to purchase the slate chippings loose, by the tonne, using a shovel and a wheelbarrow to transport it to the garden border once delivered.
