Muscovite in History and Folklore

Muscovate is the most common type of mica and is often simply called mica. It is composed primarily of aluminum and potassium.

Muscovite separates in fine, thin, flexible sheets that are extremely useful in the production of fireproofing and insulating materials. Muscovite was once called Muscovy glass after a province in Russia where it was used to make window panes. The name Muscovite has been in use since 1794.

Muscovite is often found attached to or inside other rocks, particularly granite and pegmatite but also tourmaline, topaz, beryl. The presence of Muscovite gives these stones an attractive sparkle. It can be transparent or translucent, colorless, gray, brown, yellow, violet or red depending on other minerals present. Pink is most common. When it is green, due to the presence of chromium, it is called fuchsite or mariposite.
