Mica minerals are major rock-forming minerals found in igneous, metamorphic and sedimentary rocks. The common mica minerals are muscovite mica minerals, biotite mica also referred to as black mica and Lepidolite.
Mica mineral was first mined in India over 4,000 years ago, where it was used primarily in medicines.
Maya temples used it for decorative effect in stucco to make their temples sparkle in the sun. Today it is used in many things, from electrical products to makeup, to paints etc
Mica minerals are highly reflective, their excellent cleavage allows the minerals to split into thin sheets called mica sheets; these tough, flexible sheets are the distinguishing characteristic of the mineral group. These thin mica sheets are transparent or translucent, if deeply colored.
Mica minerals are stable when exposed to electricity, light, moisture and extreme temperatures.
Muscovite mica minerals are the most common form of mica. the name muscovite mica is gotten from the term “Muscovy glass” which describes thick sheets of transparent mica that were once used as a glass substitute in Russia.
Muscovite mica minerals can come in various crystal groupings which can weigh several pounds.
Thin sheets can be peeled off as layers and the thinner a layer is peeled, the more transparent it becomes.
Commercial forms of mica can be grouped as either unmanufactured or manufactured.
Unmanufactured mica can be divided into two classes: Mica sheet and Mica scrap.

Muscovite mica minerals are found in various parts of Nigeria with Large deposits in some parts of the west and majorly in the north. Muscovite mica is mined using either “open-pit surface mining” or “underground mining”.
With Nigeria having a large deposit of quality muscovite mica which is mostly concentrated in the Northern part of the country, muscovite mica minerals are exported by mica suppliers or exporters to mica buyers in various countries around the world in either mica sheets or mica scraps but more in scraps.
When exporting to Mica buyers, the packaging is usually in 50Kg since the price is quoted in Metric tons.
1000/KG makes 1 ton and this helps in easy containerization of the goods since most shipping companies prefer to carry 20 tons in 20 feet container.
In shipping these minerals to mica buyers, 20 feet container is usually preferred because of their weight.
Trying to buy muscovite mica from genuine mica suppliers in Nigeria can lead to a lot of wasted time on the part of the mica buyer and even huge disappointments following some of the challenges listed above.

The first step in your journey to becoming a mica supplier is to register your limited liability company with the corporate affairs commission (CAC).
It is impossible for mica suppliers in Nigeria to export muscovite mica without a duly registered limited liability company. The Nigerian Export Promotion Council and any local association regulating the supply and export of muscovite mica mineral will only give a license to organizations that are registered limited liability companies with the Corporate Affairs Commission of Nigeria.
International investors can also start up their own mica export business by first visiting the Nigerian Investment Promotion Council (NIPC) or invest in a local muscovite mica supplier in Nigeria to be able to get muscovite mica minerals at a far lower price than others would have gotten.
The next step is to source for direct mines, processing or buying centers that you can procure muscovite mica minerals from at the lowest costs for your prospective international buyers or international buyers.
To be a successful muscovite mica supplier in Nigeria, one must have direct access to either mines of muscovite mica, buying centers, or processing centers, so they can always get muscovite mica minerals at the best possible price.
In order to attract international buyers, you need to set up a company of global standard and look internationally reputable. This involves registering with Corporate affairs commission as stated earlier, building a global standard website that covers everything you do including your transaction process and trade specifications for clarity purposes and transparency. A registered office address is very important too, create a corporate profile and brochure of your products.
Finally, set up a corporate email that has your website domain as its extension. Your corporate email should be like this “yourname@yourcompanywebsite.com”.
Setting up and organizing your company in a professional way like this will make international buyers feel very confident about transacting with you.
The next step is to look for international buyers for your muscovite mica. You can do this by simply registering on websites like:
And several others…
Building an influential social account on LinkedIn will help you market your muscovite mica minerals to a unique business audience who need what you offer.
After an international buyer sends an Irrevocable Corporate Purchase Order (ICPO), and a sales contract is duly agreed upon and signed by both parties, after which the buyer places an LC (letter of credit), you can then proceed to ship the muscovite mica. The shipment could either be done on Free On Board (FOB) or Cost, Insurance and Freight (CIF) basis. Where FOB means you cover the cost of the goods and every other thing up till shipping point, and CIF means that you cover the cost of everything including insurance and transporting the goods to the buyer’s port of destination.
