Could Life Originate between Mica Sheets?

Muscovite mica has many advantages as a site for the origins of life. Some of these advantages are: A. Spaces between mica sheets serve as cell-like compartments. B. K$^{+}$ ions bridge Muscovite mica sheets, providing a high K$^{+}$ environment, as found in all living cells. C. Mica's hexagonal 0.5-nm clay crystal lattice is comparable to the length of the amino acids, sugars, and nucleotides that polymerize to form life's major biological macromolecules. D. Mechanical energy from mica sheets, moving in response to water flows and temperature changes, provide an endless energy source for forming chemical bonds, rearranging polymers, and blebbing off protocells in a primitive form of cell division.
