@PapyrusBrigade @AskPippa I always thought that isinglass was thin, transparent sheets of mica. Mainly used as windows in early (think Model T) automobiles. It was news to me that the word is also used to indicate fish glue.

@ELS Good point! I hadn't thought about those being the same words. Frontenac Park in Ontario has an abandoned mica mine. Its always fun with kids to keep an eye out for panes of it along the trail.
