Just that. Cool, pale, cold. Gold stays gold in colour even in shade or low light: warm and yellow it picks up the light and turns it. Gleamy, glistery, shiny and sheeny. Mica looses it's sheen in shade and floats away when agitated, gold stays put, even the tiniest specks. Gold looks sexy, Mica flaccid.
You leave mica alone!! 8.( 8.(

Nothin' wrong with Mica. Used for the windscreens in Spitfires and Hurricanes in WW2 I believe. Stonkin' great big flakes of the stuff milled in Scotland IIRC. My first experience of the stuff was at Ferny Creek (Vic) as a boy when me dad flipped me off and told me it was fools gold.
