Though Mica, a thin and sheet like mineral, has been used as a mineral medicine for treatment of bleeding, dysentery and inflammation in traditional medicine including Ayurveda, the biological evidences of Mica were not clearly elucidated so far.
The intensities of X-ray peaks of the sheet silicate minerals are higher in the fine fraction than in other fraction.
These models commonly involve a silica-rich zone (vuggy silica), with accompanying aluminous hydrous sheet silicate minerals (kaolin and pyrophyllite) and alunite (advanced argillic alteration zone, lithocap) in the center top of a system.
Mica is, by definition, part of a group of sheet silicate minerals.

Muscovite mica is a representative of sheet silicate minerals and provides a layered structure of aluminum silicate sheets weakly bound by layers of potassium ions.
The Mica group of sheet silicate minerals are generally classified as trioctahedral Mica including Biotite, Lepidolite, Muscovite, Phlogopite, Zinnwaldite and interlayer deficient Mica[ 13].
All samples have been fabricated on muscovite mica 001) substrates (SPI, Structure Probe, Inc .. Muscovite mica is a representative of sheet silicate minerals and provides a layered structure of aluminum silicate sheets weakly bound by layers of potassium ions.
The flow-sheet will use mineral processing based techniques, namely gravity concentration and froth flotation.
For instance, fungi present smooth, flat hyphae (Fig. 2b) that grow along grain edges (Fig. 3b,d) or in between mineral sheets (Fig. 3c).
