The kanji 雲母, "mica" or "isinglass," is made up of the characters for "cloud" (雲) and "mother," (母), and could also be pronounced "unmo" in addition to "kirara."
•
The pronunciation "kirara" is similar to the Japanese sound effect "kirakira" used for something glittery, which is fitting to the appearance of mica.
