Mica, a heat resisting transparent mineral once used in stoves, is now crucial in electrical work as major manufacturers control their own mines. Bureau of Mines officials note mica splits along basal cleavage into ultra thin plates, with muscovite and phlogopite the key commercial forms. mica’s elasticity, dielectric strength, and heat resistance explain its value.

Mica Uses and Global Production Details
The text notes mica's decorative brilliancy and lack of satisfactory substitutes. It discusses muscovite and phlogopite deposits worldwide, with Canada the U.S. and India producing about 97 percent of sheet mica, India leading at 65 percent. Prewar annual consumption was 3,500 short tons, about 49 percent by the U.S. In 1921 production ranked North Carolina, New Hampshire, Virginia, New Mexico, and Wisconsin. Mica’s heat resistance and electrical properties drive its use in electrical industries, including interleaving copper segments, condensers, insulators, and heaters, with declining store-window use and various cooling and lamp applications.
