Description

Mica flakes are the same lovely mica as the sheets, but already chopped and filtered for you.  Gold mica has a wonderful metallic shine that is brighter than brass inclusions, and more subtle than gold lusters. Mica needs to be capped, and a generous bubble squeeze is recommended.

Each package is 3 grams of processed, ready to use, mica flakes.  Mica flakes are measured by weight, the volume will change depending upon color.

How do we make mica flakes?  Well, I’m so glad you asked…

 Buy mica rocks and industrial scrap in bulk directly from the mine and manufacturers
 Sort out the usable stuff (the rest goes in the garden)
 Fire raw mica in a range of temperatures from 1650F to 2000F
 Sort into colors and grades
Chop and grind sorted rocks
 Filter into different sized flakes
 Weigh and package
 Sit back and look at all the beautiful shiny things.

So, most of the work is already done for  you, the creative part is up to you!
