Mica \Mi"ca\, n. [L. mica crumb, grain, particle; cf. F. mica.]
(Min.)
The name of a group of minerals characterized by highly
perfect cleavage, so that they readily separate into very
thin leaves, more or less elastic. They differ widely in
composition, and vary in color from pale brown or yellow to
green or black. The transparent forms are used in lanterns,
the doors of stoves, etc., being popularly called
{isinglass}. Formerly called also {cat-silver}, and
{glimmer}.
[1913 Webster]

Note: The important species of the mica group are:
{muscovite}, common or potash mica, pale brown or
green, often silvery, including {damourite} (also
called {hydromica} and {muscovy glass}); {biotite},

{phlogopite} in crystalline limestone and serpentine.
