Mica is not considered rare as it is widely distributed around the world. It is commonly found in igneous and metamorphic rocks, and is used in various industries such as electronics, construction, and cosmetics. However, certain varieties of mica with specific characteristics or from particular locations may be more valuable or sought after.

Is mica radioactive?
The various types of mica do not contain elements which are significantly radioactive, e.g. K, Al, Si, O, F, H, Mg. (Rare isotopes of several common elements are part of the normal background radiation and no excess of these is found in mica.) Of course, there is the possibility that at any given mining site there can be contamination from other sources, but that is true of anything. Some examples showing the elements in mica are given below. The mica group contains 37 different sheet silicate (phyllosilicate) minerals. The chemical formula for the various types is complicated. Here are two common examples. Common mica (also called Muscovite ) is KAl2(AlSi3O10)(F,OH)2, or (KF)2(Al2O3)3(SiO2)6(H2O). Magnesium mica (Phlogopite) has the chemical formula KMg3AlSi3O10(F,OH)2. There are many more forms in the mica group of 37 phyllosilicate minerals.
