, 1991 Mica is a group name for a number of hydrous aluminosilicate minerals, such as muscovite, phlogopite, biotite and lepidolite. Muscovite and phlogopite are the principal commercial micas. Muscovite of commercial interest occurs in sheet and flake form associated with quartz and feldspar in pegmatites.
