In brief, mica is a generic term applied to a group of a complex alumino-silicate minerals having a sheet or plate like structure with different chemical compositions and physical properties. All micas from flat six-sided monoclinic crystals with a remarkable cleavage in the direction of the large surfaces, which permits them to split easily into optically flat films, as thin as one micrometre in thickness.
