Muscovite Description:

Muscovite is the most common mineral in the mica's own family. It is an essential rock-forming mineral found in igneous, metamorphic, and sedimentary rocks. Like different micas, it easily cleaves into skinny transparent sheets. Muscovite sheets have a pearly to vitreous luster on their floor. If they're held as much as the light, they're transparent and almost colorless, but most have a mild brown, yellow, green, or rose-color tint.

The capacity of muscovite to cut into thin transparent sheets - occasionally up to several feet across - gave it an early use as window panes. In the 1700s it was mined for this use from pegmatites in the location around Moscow, Russia. Those panes were referred to as 'Muscovy glass' and that term is an idea that inspired the mineral name 'muscovite.'
