Muscovite Mica


Muscovite Mica(s)


Muscovite Mica, which is composed of Potassium Aluminum Silicate Hydroxide Fluoride, is a common phyllosilicate mineral that is a major component of many rock types, including igneous, metamorphic, and sedimentary forms. Consequently, it can be found in many parts of the world. It has perfect cleavage, easily forming sheets — while it usually occurs as small flakes, in some places, notably India, Pakistan, Brazil, and certain parts of the United States, it can be found in large transparent pieces. These were once quarried for commercial use in high temperature or high voltage applications, but these days mica has been superseded by synthetic equivalents.

Colour range includes colourless, pink, grey, brown, green, violet, yellow and rose-red, this stone can be used to lessen self doubt. Facilitates looking clearly at past lessons and to the future with optimism. The energy of Muscovite brings quick-thinking, succinct and concise expression of feelings and comfort in exploring emotional pain. It strengthens the intuitive processes and assists in discovering solutions to problems, for yourself or others. Muscovite stimulates the heart chakra and allows layers of insecurities and uncertainties to disperse. It has been used to treat allergies, balance the pancreas, control blood sugar levels, regulate the kidneys and to relieve the mental distress caused by disease.
