Notes

Sericite is the generic mineral name, referring to a very fine-grained white mica, usually composed primarily of muscovite (sometimes with illite or paragonite mixed in).

This is a commercial grade of sericite that has been selected from high-purity deposits, finely ground and classified, and processed to control particle size, brightness, and chemistry.
