Black Mica

Black Mica, primarily composed of the mineral biotite, is known for its shiny, flaky layers and deep black to dark brown color. This sheet silicate mineral forms in igneous and metamorphic rocks, where it crystallizes into thin, flexible sheets that reflect light with a subtle metallic sheen.

With a Mohs hardness of about 2.5 to 3, Black Mica is relatively soft and fragile, often used more for decorative and metaphysical purposes than in jewelry. Found worldwide in locations such as the United States, India, and Russia, it is appreciated for its grounding energy and protective qualities.

Black Mica adds a natural, earthy texture and mystique to any mineral collection or craft project.
