Decorative Mica Products

Natural Mica is known for its warmth and character when light passes through it. It is a hallmark of the Victorian period and Arts & Crafts Movement, with many top designers such as Tiffany, Stickley, and Dick Van Erp incorporating mica into their designs. As a source of light diffusion, Mica is without equal when paired with CFL and LED light bulbs. Its light-diffusing characteristics naturally subdue the harsh light these new bulbs sometimes create. We are an industry-leading manufacturer and supplier of Mica-based products for artisans, decorators, and interior design suppliers with many using our exclusive “stained mica”, prized for
its uniqueness and variation of color.
