DESCRIPTION
Micas are a group of silicate minerals, primarily known for their platy nature. Muscovite and phlogopite are two of the most common forms of mica. Phlogopite mica has a distinct reddish brown color and is more flexible the muscovite mica. Muscovite mica is white and is more brittle than phlogopite mica.
Main uses for mica:
APPLICATIONS
