Description
Mica flakes are the same lovely mica as the sheets, but already chopped and filtered for you. Silver mica is the fluffiest mica that we make. Mica flakes are a silica bearing product, and do require a respirator while your working. Mica needs to be capped, and a generous bubble squeeze is recommended.
Each package is 3 grams of processed, ready to use, mica flakes.
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!
