Product Overview
Muscovite mica is a mineral that forms from cooling magma. It forms in thin sheets that are individually weak, but comprehensively strong. Mica is a major component in a plethora of different rocks, including igneous, sedimentary, and metamorphic rocks. Excellent for classroom mineral study and identification. Mica's thin and layered structure is perfect for demonstrating variable hardness and cleavage, physical properties of minerals, as well as Bowen's reaction series.
While each specimen will vary slightly in shape, size and color, it will measure approximately 1" in length. Pack of 12. Each set is individually packaged, labeled & barcoded for easy identification and storage.
