Biotite is a common phyllosilicate mineral within the mica group with the approximate chemical formula K Mg Fe 3 AlSi 3 O 10 F OH name biotite is used in the field and in entry level geology courses because these minerals generally cannot be distinguished without optical chemical or x ray analysis

Biotite for example has layers of extremely weak hydrogen bonds that break very easily thus biotite breaks along flat planes and is considered to have perfect cleavage see Figure 6 Other minerals cleave along planar surfaces of varying roughness these are considered to have good to poor cleavage

Are muscovite and biotite silicate minerals Muscovite is a member of the mica group of silicate minerals sheet silicates in which the base of all of the SiO 4 tetrahedra lie in one plane and three corners of the base are shared with the neighbouring tetrahedra Muscovite biotite and chlorite are all common mica group minerals

Biotite mica can have iron and/or magnesium in it and that makes it a ferromagnesian silicate mineral like olivine pyroxene and amphibole Chlorite is another similar mineral that commonly includes magnesium In muscovite mica the only cations present are aluminum and potassium hence it is a non ferromagnesian silicate mineral
