APPLICATIONS OF MICA AND LOCATIONS OF MUSCOVITE MINING AREAS IN THE LATE MEDIEVAL PERIOD IN THE KOLA PENINSULA AND NORTH KARELIA
The development of the mining industry and mining technologies can be traced by assessing mica production in the northwestern Karelia-Kola region, which continued for many centuries. Mica pegmatite, which occurred in the Chupa-Louhi area and on the Kola Peninsula, has been a conventional source of m...
