- Abstract
The article describes a green mica (paragonite) from Pakistan. Among the properties of the green mica that were discovered following an examination of the cabochon were medium bluish green and faint green to long-wave and inert to short-wave ultraviolet radiation fluorescence. A granular texture was revealed by microscopic examination, while the piece of rough was intergrown with some off-white material. It was also observed that the spectra were not consistent with phlogopite, muscovite, margarite or celadonite.
