Major Deposits of Muscovite occur in India,Pakistan,Brazil and the Commonwealth of Independant States. The United States does not produce much Muscovite. I found some a few years ago at an abandoned mine in Colorado. (the "Chlora May" mine).

Generally referred to as micaceous minerals, biotite and muscovite are silicate minerals having perfect basal cleavage. They both contain most of the same elements, just in different quantities. However, biotite is soluble in sulfuric acid and has iron and magnesium in it, where muscovite does not. They can be found in all types of rock.
Muscovite is used in both heat and electrical insulation applications.
