First Answer
Yes it is and it can also withstand heat. For many years mica was used in toasters to make a framework to hold the heating elements.
Next Answer
Actually mica is a very good electrical INSULATOR, but is a good THERMAL conductor, which is why it was used for holding heating elements.

Is mica an electrical insulator?
Mica has such poor electrical conductivity that it has often been used as an insulator. The resistivity of mica ranges from 1x10^12 to 2x10^14 Ω/cm depending on the type of mica. For reference, copper, a good conductor, has a resistivity of only 1.68×10^−8 Ω/m or 1.68x10^-10 Ω/cm. no, it is an insulator.
