Mica has perfect basal cleavage.
On Moh's scale Mica group minerals ranges 2.5 to 3.0 in hardness.

That would be mica...and it's spelled "quartz"

The ore of mica is called "muscovite." It is a type of mica mineral that is commonly found in metamorphic and igneous rocks. Muscovite is known for its pearlescent luster and excellent cleavage properties.
no it is a mineral
The mineral property illustrated by the peeling of muscovite mica into thin sheets is cleavage. Cleavage is the tendency of a mineral to break along flat surfaces, producing smooth, flat fragments. In the case of muscovite mica, it has perfect cleavage in one direction, allowing it to be easily split into thin, flexible sheets.
Biotite is definitely a mineral. It's in the same family as muscovite, another mineral in the mica family.
Both feldspar and mica are silicates.
