The Appeal of Using Natural Mica
In addition, lepidolite and ferrolepidolite can also be used as mineral raw materials for extracting lithium.
What are the uses of mica
Mica is a very common rock-forming mineral, widely distributed in crystalline rocks. Its general chemical formula can be expressed as:
It is an indispensable and important raw material in the fields of electric heating equipment, wire and cable, aerospace and so on.

Intriguingly, muscovite can also form in igneous rocks, particularly those that have undergone alteration by hot, mineral-rich fluids. This versatility in formation environments underscores muscovite widespread occurrence and importance.
Phlogopite itself is a member of the mica group of minerals, characterized by its layered crystalline structure. This structure imparts a unique set of physical properties, including a high degree of flexibility and excellent thermal stability. However, the natural form of phlogopite is relatively limited in availability and often contains impurities that can affect its performance in critical applications. This is where synthetic fluorphlogopite comes into play, offering a superior alternative that addresses these limitations.
Mica has a wide range of uses, in ancient China, it is often used to do traditional Chinese medicine, the ancients even think that taking mica: a year to remove all diseases (heavy metal poisoning), three years of long service, husband into a boy (body scrap), Zhongshan uncle Qing suit, over time can become a cloud (soul ascension). However, in the era without glass, the transparency of mica makes it a better decorative material, for example, we are familiar with the mica screen candle shadow deep, the river gradually falling Xiaoxing sink. Mica screen is low, tassel tent is small and mica calf car.
The common characteristics of mica group minerals are: layered silicate minerals, monoclinic crystal system, a few trigonal crystal system, the crystals are pseudo-hexagonal columnar, plate and sheet; The aggregate is scaly and foliaceous. It has a set of extremely complete cleavage, along which it is easy to peel into sheets. Therefore, the shape of mica is usually regarded as sheet.
