Weird, mica is extremely plentiful here - there's actually a scandal here where concrete blocks to build houses were made with too much mica, up to 14% in some cases. (It's not good for the structural strength of the concrete). It feels like you could walk into any field in some parts of Ireland and pick up enough mica to last the worldwide auto industry for years.
