'''Shalebark''' is a category of flora native to [[Roshar]]. Though it comes in many forms, it always looks like stone with retractable, often fanlike, tendrils {{article ref|Shallan's sketchbook}}. Shalebark grows wild in such diverse locations as the relatively barren [[Shattered Plains]]{{book ref|
== Role in Rosharan Ecosystems ==
Shalebark often forms symbiotic relationships with fauna that is specifically adapted to each type of shalebark.
[[Spren#Lifespren|Lifespren]] are often found drifting around shalebark.
== Cultivation ==
Shalebark is widely used in landscaping across Roshar. Gardeners shape it by filing it down and can paint it with a sap to encourage it to grow in particular directions
== Known Varieties ==
* Plated Stone - grows in thin round sections that stack similarly to plates in a cupboard. The stone-like part is a bluish color and it has yellow tendrils that grow from pores in the "rims" of the "plates"
* Hand shaped shalebark with finger-like protrusions growing from a central knob. This is found in the gardens in Kharbranth
