Natural Mica

Natural mica has exceptional physical characteristics. It can be found throughout the world, most notably in the presence of Paleozoic rocks. Accessible deposits are located primarily in India , on the American continent, in southern Africa and in Russia .

Mica's chemical composition places it in the aluminium silicates group. Two types are extracted - Muscovite, in which there is a predominance of potassium and Phlogopite, in which the presence of magnesium can be detected.

As a mineral, mica has a special characteristic - it can be cleft to obtain very thin flakes of constant thickness.
