Geological Information
Golden Mica, also known as Muscovite, is a type of phyllosilicate mineral that belongs to the mica group. It is composed of potassium, aluminum, and silica, and it forms in metamorphic and igneous rocks. Golden Mica typically occurs in thin, sheet-like layers that have a pearly luster. Its golden color is often caused by the presence of iron or other trace elements.

Metaphysical & Spiritual Properties
Golden Mica is associated with abundance, manifestation, and self-confidence. It is believed to attract prosperity and success while stimulating the Solar Plexus chakra, which governs personal power and will. Golden Mica is said to enhance one’s ability to take action, make decisions, and overcome obstacles. It is also regarded as a stone of protection, shielding the aura from negative energies and promoting a sense of balance and harmony. Additionally, Golden Mica is believed to stimulate intellectual pursuits, enhance intuition, and facilitate clear communication.

History & Folklore
In ancient Egypt, it was used as a cosmetic, creating shimmering effects in eye makeup and body adornment. Native American tribes incorporated mica into their spiritual practices, viewing it as a sacred stone that connected them to the Earth and brought spiritual guidance. In European folklore, mica was associated with divination and scrying, believed to reveal hidden truths and provide insight into the future.

Works Well With…
Golden Mica works well with other stones that enhance manifestation and personal power, such as Citrine, Pyrite, and Tiger’s Eye. It can also be paired with crystals that promote confidence and courage, such as Carnelian or Sunstone. Golden Mica’s association with the Solar Plexus chakra makes it beneficial to combine with stones that activate and balance this energy center. It can be used in meditation, crystal grids, or carried as a talisman to support abundance, self-assurance, and the realization of goals and aspirations.
