Biot was indeed one of the first scientists to explore the properties of biotite, his motivation coming from optics as he was a physicist, not a mineralogist
So using a potassium ion stabilize it in a wellbore while drilling in a shale but 48% of mica and 4% stourolite clay content of smectite and illite over 60% as we drill these lenses we encounter unstable shale with very sharp pressured cuttings
Your videos are incredible, thank you so much for sharing them! I was wondering if you know the chemical name for golden mica. Can’t seem to find it anywhere
no clue how I ended up here, but I'm enjoying learning about mica I'll have no use for this knowledge. Wish I could taunt my younger self that I'd eventually enjoy staying up learning about this.
Most things expand when heated (ice to water phase change an exception with a few others). Muscovite will only expand a little making useful in blast furnaces. The mica that will expand more is Vermiculite.

Ive been wanting to use a non synthetic material as a mica for a drinking glass coaster, something that can withstand hot thee, and cold ice block drinks with lotsa of condensation. Not breaking apart after possible swelling / not cracking too easily. Any advise?
I know of lampshades being made from muscovite, perhaps those companies also make cups? Not really sure. If you wanted to make one yourself, mica is elastic and with big enough sheets you may be able to glue sheets together and wrap them around a mold.
Looking to sell a huge piece of white, transparent mica. A " book" of about 30-35 lbs. Perfect for a craftsman of muscovite windows... Any idea how I would vend this?
