About Muscovite
Muscovite is a hydrated phyllosilicate mineral of aluminium and potassium with formula KAl₂(FOH)₂, or (KF)₂(Al₂O₃)₃(SiO₂)₆. It has a highly perfect basal cleavage yielding remarkably thin laminae which are often highly elastic. Sheets of muscovite 5 meters × 3 meters have been found in Nellore, India.
