one puond is probably $15 maybe?
Mica is not worth very much monetarily. Cost for the mineral ranges from 10 dollars to 18 dollars per pound. It may cost slightly more in craft stores.
Although mica is a pretty substance that has a lot of uses in modern day society, it is not worth much money. The average cost of mica is $12.00 a ton.
No, it looks like silver, but mica isn't especially valuable.
Mica is worth maybe $5.00 if you have a handful.
It's very common, so as a raw mineral no.
Not very Valuable.
yes
Mica schist is a metamorphic rock with a predominance of micaceous minerals.

The schists constitute a group of medium-grade metamorphic rocks, chiefly notable for the preponderance of lamellar minerals such as micas, chlorite, talc, hornblende, graphite, and others. Quartz often occurs in drawn-out grains to such an extent that a particular form called quartz schist is produced. By definition, schist contains more than 50% platy and elongated minerals, often finely interleaved with quartz and feldspar.
Mica is not a type of foliated rock but is in fact the name for a subdivision of a group of minerals known as Phyllosilicates. They form as parallel sheets of silicate tetrahedra resulting in thin sheet like crystals. Foliations are planer alignments of crystals within metamorphic and igneous rocks and foliated rocks may contain micaceous minerals. See the related link for a picture of a Quartz-Mica Schist seen in thin section and viewed through a petrographic microscope with the polarising filters crossed. In the example picture the white, grey and black amorphous blobs are quartz crystals and the long, thin, brightly coloured (predominantly blue and yellow) crystals are muscovite mica.
Most schists are derived from phyllite, a lower grade metamorphic rock.

It is a folliated metamorphic rock.
Mica is formed by chemicals combining their industrial forces with fresh water and turning into thin breakable sheet rock.
A Mica Garnet schist is a metamorphic rock formed from a shale or a granitic mother rock when this is squashed and heated at death in the crust.
Gneiss is a high grade metamorphic rock, the product of various rock types being exposed to intense pressures and heat under the surface of the Earth. Orthogneiss is a gneiss whose parent rock was igneous, and paragneiss is a gneiss whose parent rock was sedimentary.
schist
Mica is a type of mineral that occurs as flakes, books, or sheets. It is mined. They are mined using techniques that extract mica from the metamorphic rock called schist, from placer deposits, and from pegmatites.
Garnet schist-- as well as mica schist--can be found anywhere where clay rock with some calcite content-- such as siltstone or a mudstone, for example-- can be compressed (via metamorphism) and consequently sqeezed into rock-like layers.
yes, it's slate. it goes from shale to slate to phyllite to mica schist.

yes it is many people think it is an igneous rock because it is red
Schist is a metamorphic rock.
