Mica Group Minerals
There isn't a single scientific name as 'Mica' refers to a group of phyllosilicate minerals. Common scientific names include Muscovite (KAl₂ (AlSi₃O₁₀)(OH)₂), Biotite (K(Mg,Fe)₃AlSi₃O₁₀(OH)₂), Phlogopite (KMg₃AlSi₃O₁₀(OH)₂), and Lepidolite (K(Li,Al)₃(Al,Si,Rb)₄O₁₀(F,OH)₂).

Agate (specifically, multi-colored or pastel-dyed agate)
Silicon dioxide (SiO2) - specifically, a cryptocrystalline variety of quartz known as Chalcedony, with banding classified as Agate. (If it were Fluorite, the chemical formula would be Calcium Fluoride - CaF2).
