Muscovite is the most common mica, found in granites, pegmatites,
gneisses, and schists, and as a contact metamorphic rock or as a
secondary mineral resulting from the alteration of topaz, feldspar,
kyanite, etc.
In pegmatites, it is often found in immense sheets that are commercially valuable. Muscovite is in demand for the manufacture of fireproofing and insulating materials and to some extent as a lubricant.
