The mineral mica is not a gemstone. It is not considered a precious mineral or gem. It is a valuable mineral that has a number of applications, and it is likely you have some mica in your home now. Mica is used in the electronics industry as an insulator beneath semiconductor packages when they are mounted on heat sinks in consumer (and other) electronic equipment.
