[Aztlan] Mica sheets or slabs at Teotihuacan

[michael ruggeri]

David,

I looked at a pile of these Mica sheets in a workshop storage area of  
Teotihuacan where they made the Mica objects. They are about a foot  
square on each side and perhaps a quarter inch in thickness. The  
ancient craftsmen apparently cut them into these squares for further  
decorative uses.
