Mika naturel isanzwe ni ubwoko bwamabuye y'agaciro atari ubutare kandi burimo ibice bitandukanye, muribyo ahanini birimo SiO 2, ibiyirimo muri rusange bigera kuri 49%, naho ibiri muri Al 2 O 3 ni 30%.Mika karemano ifite elastique nziza no gukomera.Kwikingira, kurwanya ubushyuhe bwinshi, aside na alkali birwanya, kurwanya ruswa, gufatira hamwe nibindi biranga, ni inyongera nziza.Ikoreshwa cyane mubikoresho byamashanyarazi, inkoni zo gusudira, reberi, plastike, impapuro, amarangi, impuzu, pigment, ububumbyi, kwisiga, ibikoresho bishya byubaka nizindi nganda, kandi bifite uburyo bwinshi bwo gukoresha.Hamwe niterambere ryiterambere rya siyanse nikoranabuhanga, abantu bafunguye ibintu bishya byo gushyira mubikorwa.

Ibiranga nibintu nyamukuru bigize imiti ya mika karemano: kristu ya muscovite ni isahani ya mpande esheshatu ninkingi, ingingo zirasa, kandi igiteranyo kimeze nka flake cyangwa scaly, kuburyo byitwa mika naturel yacitsemo ibice.

Imiterere ya mika isanzwe irashobora gukoreshwa muri: inyongeramusaruro, ibyubatswe mubwubatsi, igiteranyo cya terrazzo, amarangi yamabuye nyayo, umusenyi wamabara, nibindi.

Urupapuro rusanzwe rwa mika ni ibikoresho byo gushushanya bifite amabara akomeye, kutarwanya amazi no kwigana, hamwe no kurwanya icyiciro cyiza no kurwanya ubukonje., irashobora rero gukoreshwa kubikoresho byavuzwe haruguru.
