Muscovite mica and aquamarine are both silicates,though they differ significantly in crystal structure and how they form.
Muscovite mica-
Mineral class silicate (phyllosilicate/sheet silicate)
Crystal system - monoclinic
Rock formation-
Muscovite is an abundant rock forming mineral l. It crystallizes in high temperature environments like granite pegmatites and granitic magmas. But it primarily forms through the regional metamorphism of clay rich sedimentary rocks.
Aquamarine-
Mineral class- silicate (cyclosilicate)
Crystal system- hexagonal
Rock formation-
Aquamarine is a pale blue verity of beryl mineral family. It generally forms in late cooling magmas specifically within granite pegmatites or high temperature hydrothermal veins.
