Agricultural Uses

Phlogopite is one of the most commonly present micasand is denoted as K(Mg,Fe)₃AlSi₃O₁₀(OH,F)₂.Mica iscommonly found as small flakes or lamellar plateswithout a crystal outline. Thin cleavage sheets of mica,particularly muscovite and phlogopite, are elastic,flexible and tough. They range from translucent totransparent. They have low electrical and thermalconductivity and high dielectric strength, and hence areused as electrical insulators.
