    Thanks to everyone for their sources for finding Mica! It has been
    very helpful. 

    Here is a little more info I received, just in case anyone else
    might be interested... 

    I sent a query to Ashville Mica www.ashevillemica.com this is their
    response: Thank you for your inquiry. For your trials, you can work
    with mica intended for stove windows.  It is split to a thickness of
    approximately .003"/.005" and can be carefully cut with scissors or
    an exacto knife.  Check your wood stove/fireplace supply company or
    hardware store for "stove mica". 

    FYI...I did go to a local woodstove/fireplace shop and was able to
    find an ash colored mica 3 x 5" for $4.50. I was told that they
    typically do not order clear mica because it is more expensive and
    not of interested to their customers. 

    Another source was American Science & Surplus www.sciplus.com If
    you've never been to this site, it's interesting! A very odd
    assortment of stuff. 

Thanks again for your help!
Pam
