My mom found a huge hunk of mica I collected when I was younger, its just a little larger than fifty millimeters in diameter!

I need to make a mica splitting knife by carving some wood but I went ahead and separated some layers to just see if it worked at all.

Its not in very good shape but good enough to play around with.

Pretty promising in my opinion. I can easily see a limited release of "Nostalgia" filters, likely the first batch of custom filter housings and then... a miner series? I would happily put out a bounty for samples over a certain size and grade!

As housings become available I'll explore more this direction.
