Since long before the modern version of glitter was created—and continuing right up to the present, alongside the plastic stuff—mica has been a major source of sparkle for people all over the world.
But given the amount of ground (no pun intended) that we cover in our book, we were limited in how much detail we could go into about the mineral itself.

From Chris' list on for glitter-loving kids.
