Muscovite (also known as common mica, isinglass, or potash mica[6]) is a hydrated phyllosilicate mineral of aluminium and potassium with formula KAl 2 (Al Si 3 O 10) (F,O H) 2, or (KF) 2 (Al 2 O 3) 3 (SiO 2) 6 (H 2 O). It has a highly perfect basal cleavage yielding remarkably thin laminae (sheets) which are often highly elastic.

The stand-alone name 'Muscovite' was used as early as 1794 by Johann Gottfried Schmeisser in his System of Mineralogy and is derived from the term "Muscovy glass," which was in common use by that time.

Muscovite, also known as Muscovy Glass, is an aluminum potassium mineral and the most common member of the Mica family. It crystallizes in the form of small hexagonal or tabular “crisps”, as well as elongated sheets and solid masses.

A common rock-forming mineral found in felsic igneous rocks, pegmatites and metamorphic rocks, muscovite is the lightest-colored member of the mica mineral group. Micas are a group of sheet silicate minerals distinguished by their perfect single cleavage. This cleavage allows mica minerals to be easily split into thin parallel sheets.

2022年10月3日 · Muscovite is the most common mica mineral. The white mica stone has been mined for its sparkly luster for centuries. Learn all of muscovite’s uses, properties, prices, and benefits in this guide.

Muscovite is the most common form of mica. Its name is derived from "Muscovy Glass", which describes thick sheets of transparent mica that were once used as a glass substitute in Russia.

Muscovite has a widespread occurance and is characteristic of sedimentary, igneous and metamorphic rocks. Sediments eroded from igneous and metamorphic rocks often carry …

Muscovite is chiefly characteristic of the deep-seated igneous rocks, and is not found in the recent eruptive rocks. It is also very common in metamorphic rocks, as gneiss and schist, forming the …

Muscovite is the most common mineral of the mica family. It is an important rock-forming mineral present in igneous, metamorphic, and sedimentary rocks. Like other micas it readily cleaves into thin transparent sheets. Muscovite sheets have a pearly to vitreous luster on their surface.

Muscovite (also known as common mica, isinglass, or potash mica) is a hydrated phyllosilicate mineral of aluminium and potassium with formula KAl2 (AlSi3O10) (F,OH)2, or (KF)2 (Al2O3)3 (SiO2)6 (H2O).
