Is Micca stone magnetic?
It's correctly spelt mica and it is a mineral, not a stone. No, it, isn't magnetic- it is a phyllosilicate mineral with a layered structure and is chemically inert. It has superior electrical properties as an insulator, and can support an electrostatic field whilst dissipating minimal energy in the form of heat.
