Ore mica on white background.
The mica group of sheet silicate phyllosilicate minerals includes several closely related materials having nearly perfect basal cleavage. All are monoclinic, with a tendency towards pseudohexagonal crystals, and are similar in chemical composition. The nearly perfect cleavage, which is the most prominent characteristic of mica, is explained by the hexagonal sheet-like arrangement of its atoms.nnThe word mica is derived from the Latin word mica, meaning a crumb, and probably influenced by micare, to glitter.
