The Mineral Muscovite (Mica)
Muscovite is a common rock forming mineral and is found in igneous, metamorphic and detrital sedimentary rocks. Muscovite has a layered structure of aluminum silicate sheets weakly bonded together by layers of potassium ions. Muscovite sheets were used for kitchen oven windows before synthetic materials replaced them.
