  • Mica: The Sheet-Like Mineral - Properties & Types
    The mineral that separates into sheets is mica.

    Mica is a group of silicate minerals that have a layered structure. This structure allows the mineral to be easily split into thin, flexible sheets.

    Some common types of mica include:

    * Muscovite: A silvery-white mica often used in insulation and makeup.

    * Biotite: A black or dark brown mica commonly found in igneous rocks.

    * Phlogopite: A yellowish-brown mica used in electrical insulation.
