A monoclinic mineral, K<sub>3</sub>Fe(C<sub>2</sub>O<sub>4</sub>)<sub>3</sub>.3H<sub>2</sub>O ; green; an oxalate.
Industry:Mining
A monoclinic mineral, KAl<sub>2</sub>(Si<sub>3</sub>Al)O<sub>10</sub>(OH,F)<sub>2</sub>; mica group; pseudohexagonal; perfect basal cleavage; forms large, transparent, strong, electrically and thermally insulating, stable sheets; a common rock-forming mineral in silicic plutonic rocks, mica schists, gneisses, and commercially in pegmatites; also a hydrothermal and weathering product of feldspar and in detrital sediments. Also spelled: moscovite. Sericite is fine-grained muscovite, commonly in connection with hydrothermal alteration, but sericite also includes paragonite and illite. Illite is a common syn. for fine-grained muscovite in clay mineralogy

Industry:Mining
A monoclinic mineral, KAlSi<sub>3</sub>O<sub>8</sub>; feldspar group; prismatic cleavage; partly ordered, monoclinic potassium feldspar dimorphous with microcline, being stable at higher temperatures; also a general term applied to any potassium feldspar that is or appears to be monoclinic; e.g., sanidine, submicroscopically twinned microcline, adularia, and twinned analbite. It is a common rock-forming mineral and occurs esp. in granites, granite pegmatites, felsic igneous rocks, and crystalline schists, and is commonly perthitic.
