Individual member of the mica group. May occasionally and incorrectly refer to other minerals similar to the true micas that have perfect basal cleavage and can be "peeled".

a mineral silicate whose hexagonal arrangements of atoms give it perfect cleavage (it breaks in sheets instead of fracturing or crumbling).

crumb, morsel, grain / small loaf

A group of minerals that are common in igneous and metamorphic rocks. It can range in color from pale brown or yellow to green or black and split into thin sheets.

A silicate material having a layered structure that is flexible and elastic. It has excellent electrical insulating properties.

A group of monoclinic minerals having similar chemical compositions. The micas are prominent rock-forming constituents of igneous and metamorphic rocks.

Individual member of the mica group. May also refer to any mineral with perfect basal cleavage that can be "peeled".

The mica group of sheet silicate minerals includes several closely related materials having highly perfect basal cleavage. All are monoclinic with a tendency towards pseudo-hexagonal crystals and are similar in chemical composition.

Short form of Michaela.

Any group of mineral silicates in a multi-layered form; characterized by cleaving which permits splitting into thin sheets.

A transparent to semi-transparent mineral silicate which can be separated into very thin leaves. It is useful as an electrical insulating material and performs at temperatures up to 900°C. When combined with glass or polyester tape it forms the basis for a functional, high temperature cable insulation system.
