Mica is a natural stone with a vitreous to pearly luster, which forms in multiple distinct layers. Mica is actually a broad term that is attributed to more than 34 types of these layers. The most common form of mica is called muscovite, while other varieties include anandite, fuchsite and lepidolite. While mica has been found in various places around the world throughout history, it wasn't until the 19th century the gem was given its name and was mined for export. This stone is often ground up and used as a shimmering powder accent in jewelry and accessories, but mica is also used in makeup foundations, cement filler and an insulator in electrical cables.

Because of its insulating properties, it has been used in technological areas, as well as home building and appliances. As such, Mica can protect against negative energy. It can balance the earth’s energies and is useful to have near areas that are prone to earthquakes. Mica shields against jealousy, anger and violence. Use it at work when you want to shield your coworkers against your personal life/problems. Mica keeps the peace in drama-prone households.

Physically, use Mica to help with insomnia. It can benefit the digestive system and intestines. Mica keeps blood sugar levels steady; aides with dehydration; improves concentration and memory; improves stamina and strength.
