Here I have a very unusual and mini cluster of Muscovite cluster with a touch of matrix that might be albite. Muscovite is a special form of mica. I love the unusual which is no surprise as I have been a collector for over 15 years so crystal clusters like this thrill me. And yes I over the years I collected 3 of these myself! Every cave they open seems to have a different form so I love going to the supplier and seeing the latest form and colour.

Muscovite stimulates the mind and brain and improves agility of thought and problem solving. I love how it help me let go mental pain coming from anger at a situation.

And the cluster itself is great for group work. After reading the healing properties of this albite cluster with muscovite, I can image it helping someone work with their group consciousness and getting “re-integrated”!

Special Notes

Mica is widely distributed and occurs in igneous, metamorphic and sedimentary regimes.
The earliest use of mica has been found in cave paintings created during the Upper Paleolithic period (40,000 BC to 10,000 BC).
Powdered mica glitter is used to decorate traditional clay pots
Sheet mica is used principally in the electronic and electrical industries. Its usefulness in these applications is derived from its unique electrical and thermal properties and its mechanical properties.
The purple variety is coloured by lithium and is known as lepidolite.
- Lepidolite comes in flat sheets and botryoidal sheet form
- More geological information.
Mid to dark green variety is called fuchsite
- Combined with quartz creates green aventurine
- Much which is currently available in stores is fuchsite layered into quartz and some parts are so merged they have are now green aventurine. Recently if the fuchsite is dominant they call it fuchsite aventurine.
- More geological information: fuchsite;
The bladed variety is called muscovite.
- It is usually lemon green or khaki green
- KAl₂(AlSi₃O₁₀)(OH)₂
- More geological information: muscovite.
A dark green- brown variety is biotite
- K(Mg,Fe)₃(AlSi₃O₁₀)(F,OH)₂
- More geological information: biotite
A yellow, greenish, or reddish-brown mica is called phlogopite (magnesium mica)
- KMg₃(AlSi₃O₁₀)(F,OH)₂
- More geological information: phlogopite
