WHAT IS MICA POWDER AND ITS HISTORY

You might have wondered, what is mica powder?

Well, this powder has been in use right from our prehistoric times and has been widely accepted by many civilizations like Indus, Chinese, Egyptian and Greek. Historians have found its wide use in cave paintings, Japanese woodblock, pottery, and many other things as well. We will tell you more about mica powder and what you can use it for. One of the most commonly used colors for epoxy is mica powder. Mica is basically a natural stone with a vitreous to pearly luster. It is also called nature’s glitter. It forms in multiple distinct layers. One of the most common forms of mica is muscovite. Some other varieties of mica include anandite, fuchsite and lepidolite. Mica and Pigment Powder are both colorants but they are not exactly the same. There is this difference between them, that mica powder gives a glossy and shimmery look in artworks while pigment powder has a matte finish and it gives a normal matte appearance. Mica Powdered Pigments are the most popular choice for artists and crafters who wants to make the finest art.
