What is the difference between sericite and Muscovite?
Muscovite is not just white, it can be lighter brown, green, red to colorless, with a glassy luster to a silky luster. A large, square, six square crystal or fine-grained aggregate.
Bai Yunmu (Muscovite), also called ordinary mica, potassium mica or mica, is one of the mica minerals. Muscovite is a good electric insulator and heat insulator, and it can produce a large quantity, so it has important economic value. It is commonly found in metamorphic rocks but also in rocks such as granite.
Sericite (Sericite) is a kind of mica. It belongs to a silicate mineral with layered structure. Sericite has a wide range of uses, used in rubber, plastics, coatings, paints, ceramics, insulation, cosmetics, pigments, paper making, metallurgy and other industries. Sericite crystals are scaly, crystalline aggregates are massive, gray, purple, rose, white and so on, with silk luster.
