Both are platy, silicate, mica group minerals with perfect cleavage in one direction.
What two minerals share the common name mica?
Biotite and Muscovite.
What minral is also know as black mica?
Mineral.spell check helps. not fools gold.Granite is a black mica, quartzite if dark is also a black mica also specifically biotite. chemical formula K(Mg,Fe)3(Al,Fe)Si3O10(OH)2
Example of mica?
Many types of mica are known: biotite, lepidolite, muscovite, phlogopite, zinnwaldite, clintonite, illite, phengite.
How are the minerals biotite mica and the Muscovite mica different?
Biotite mica contains iron and/or magnesium, but muscovite mica does not.
What is the hardness of biotite mica?

What is the chemical formula for mica var?
If you think to biotite the chemical formula is:K(Mg,Fe)3AlSi3O10(F.OH)2
Is mica a renewable resource?
Mica Is Not A Renewable Resource Because Think About When Muscovite Mica And Biotite Mica Go Extinct. Muscovite Mica And Biotite Mica Are Both Types To Make Mica, And If That Goes Extinct Then Mica Will Be Extinct Too.
What physical properties distinguish biotite from muscovite?
Both are platy, silicate, mica group minerals with perfect cleavage in one direction.
What element is present in biotite mica that is not present in muscovite mica?
Iron.

Why is biotite not able to be seen?
Biotite is a form of mica, and can be seen without difficulty in the right kind of rocks.
What is a biotite?
A biotite is a variety of dark brown mica, a mixed aluinosilicate and fluoride of potassium, magnesium and iron.
What group is mica in?
Mica is a group of sheet silicate minerals (e.x of micas : Biotite, muscovite)
What is the difference between mica and quartz?
