Biotite Mica would fit this category as would Muscovite, native to Russia as the name implied. (Sheets) oif semi-transparent mica can be peeled right off. the mineral is useful in electrical condensers and also as a form of glass substitute that is heat-resistant, called Isinglass. it is neither Eisen-(Iron) nor Glass, but the name stuck.
