	Mica (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
		Mica is: An interpreter for a garbage collected, dynamically typed, object-oriented language with prototype-based inheritance, multiple dispatch, strict encapsulation and capabilities for security, optional orthogonal persistence, and functional programming features (anonymous functions, functional lists and dictionaries, map and filter operators).
		In fact, Mica objects are classified only by which delegates they have (and which delegates their delegates have), not by a class or an ancestry (though often these two are heavily correlated.) It's kind of like finding out who is in a family by looking at their resemblances to each other.
		Mica's built-in lists, strings, maps, and sets are "functional" in the sense that they are immutable: making a change to a value returns a new value, rather than changing the old one.

	Mica - LoveToKnow 1911
		When a cleavage flake of mica is struck a sharp blow with a blunt needle-point a six-rayed star of cracks or "percussion figure" is developed: the rays intersect at angles of approximately 60°, and the pair most prominently developed are parallel to the plane of symmetry of the crystal.
		Mica occurs as a primary and essential constituent of igneous rocks of almost all kinds; it is also a common product of alteration of many mineral silicates, both by weathering and by contactand dynamo-metamorphic processes.
		In dressing mica the "books" are split along the cleavage into sheets of the required thickness, and the sheets trimmed into rectangles with a sharp knife, shears or guillotine, stained and damaged portions being rejected.

		Muscovite mica can be split into flexible and transparent films as thin as 0.00025 inch, which gives added advantage in making built-up mica, tapes and films that can be used in any shape and size and punched films that can be used in any shape and size and punched instruments and appliances.
		The scrap mica obtained during the processing of crude mica and in the factories while punching is utilized in the manufacture of mica bricks for heat insulation, mica powder for use as filler in rubber goods, plant, lubricant and to some extent in plastic industries.
		Ruby mica is mined at Telinskoye in the Chupa district of Karelia Peninsula.

	Mica Mining Information - AZCO Mining, Inc -
		Mica provides the uniquely smooth feel to the powder in cosmetics, Mica is more transparent than talc and creates buildable coverage without completely covering the skin.
		Mica has a platy shape and pronounced basal cleavage that permits splitting or delamination into extremely thin, high-aspect ratio particles that are tough and flexible.
		The platy shape of mica particles is very beneficial in polypropylene composites because the length and width dimensions are very similar, uniform shrinkage in molded parts is essential to the elimination of warpage.

	Mica
		Phlogopite mica remains stable at higher temperatures and is used in applications in which a combination of high-heat stability and electrical properties is required. Muscovite and phlogopite are used in sheet and ground forms. The mica group minerals, which comprise tetrahedraloctahedral-tetrahedral layers, are characterized by partial substitution of aluminum for silicon in the silicate tetrahedron.
		In the paint industry, ground mica is used as a pigment extender that also facilitates suspension, reduces chalking, prevents shrinking and shearing of the paint film, increases resistance of the paint film to water penetration and weathering, and brightens the tone of colored pigments.
		Mica is used in plastic automobile fascia and fenders as a reinforcing material, thus providing improved mechanical properties and increased strength, stiffness, and dimensional stability.

		Sheet muscovite (white) mica is used in electronic insulators (mainly in vacuum tubes), ground mica in paint, as joint cement, as a dusting agent, in well-drilling muds, and in plastics, roofing, rubber, and welding rods.
		Mica is a mineral name given to a group of minerals that are similar in their physical properties and chemical compositions.
		Mica is also used as segment plates between copper commutator sections to insulate copper from the steel; phlogopite mica is used because it wears at the same rate as the copper segments.

	Amethyst Galleries - THE MICA GROUP
		Micas are significant rock forming minerals being found in all three rock types: igneous, metamorphic and sedimentary.
		Because thin flakes of mica are generally flexible and brittle, it is surprising how resistant and durable mica crystals can be in withstanding high temperatures and pressures in metamorphic regimes as well as the punishment of erosional environments.
		However, often crystals will be intergrown with mica and clay layers forming a composite crystal; as in a few layers of pure biotite and then a few layers of pure vermiculite, then biotite, etc, etc. This type of arrangement in a single crystal is making identification and classification of these minerals extremely complicated and confusing.

	What is Mica - Technical details
		Mica is a natural valuable mineral product applied to a group of a complex aluminosilicate minerals having a sheet or plate like structure with different chemical compositions and physical properties.
		Mica is a complex hydrous silicate of aluminium containing potassium, magnesium, iron, sodium fluorine and/or lithium and also traces of several other elements, It is stable and completely inert to the action of water, acids (except hydro-fluoric and concentrated sulphuric), alkalies, conventional solvents, oils and is virtually unaffected by atmospheric action.
		Mica is fireproof, infusable, incombustible and non-flammable and can resist temperatures of 600° C to 900° C (1112° F to 1652° F) depending on the type of mica.

	Peabody Museum/Conservation Dept.: Mica Serpent
		In 1995, the fragile mica form (#82-35-10/29683) was brought from storage to the Museum's conservation lab, for removal from a 1970s wood exhibit support so that publication photography could be completed, and for the purpose of fabricating a more protective storage mount.
		The cut-out was assembled from a total of twelve mica fragments; the lower half being the most fragmented and composed of nine sections after the second bend.
		Besides the loss of a mica mirror and an applied backing that obscures valuable information, the accuracy of the 1920s restoration of the current physical form of the serpent is questionable.
