Mica Question

Post by Billie DeBekker »

The Mica everyone is using for Acid/Mica is just Normal Mica found in rocks or in the ground.. right?

Curious as I basically live in Micaville USA. The stuff is all over the place. I probably have a ton of it in mixed my driveway road base. Just didn't see a reason to order Mica from CA. if its the same stuff I can just pull of my wife's Garden rocks.

Here is the information you need:
Mica
If I recollect correct: If you put a rock in acid, allmost everything will disolve and the mica will remain.
Realizing we are in the 2nd renaissance of the arts.
Learn, copy and trying to improve...
Still in the learning phase ;-)
