Mica is a colored powder that’s made from a natural mineral called muscovite. Muscovite is a silicate mineral, in the same family as quartz. Before it’s processed, mica comes out of the ground in large pearlescent sheets or flakes, which have a naturally shimmering, iridescent property.
Mica flakes are ground into a fine powder, which is usually an off-white or khaki color. Natural oxides are then applied to the mica with heat to transform it into a vibrant color. Mica powder can also be made from the lab-created version of the muscovite mineral, which is called fluorophlogopite.
