Mlrn Depotln In India, The peninsula of India Is famous for the excellence of Us mica deposits. On account of its delicacy mica quickly suffers from tho crushing effect of enrth movements, and the superiority or the Indian deposits Is ascribed to tho geologically long and perfect quiescence qui-escence that tho great peninsula hns enjoyed. In tho Nelloru district crystals, crys-tals, or "books," of muscovlto mica havo been obtained incasing ten feet across tho basal planes. Usually they aro much smaller, ami even In India the stability or tho earth has not been sulllclently continuous to prevent the destruction or large quantities or this delicate and valuable mineral.
