It is the purest known form of animal jelly, and is obtained from the swimming bladder of a few kinds of fish, chiefly of the genus Sturgeon, the Acipenser of zoologists. This is indicated by some of its continental names, of which the English is no doubt a corruption;—thus, in German, Isinglass is called ''Hausenblase'', from ''hausen'' the great sturgeon, and ''blase'' a bladder.

When of good quality isinglass is of a whitish colour, thin, and semi-transparent, but tough and flexible, destitute of taste as well as of smell. The inferior kinds are thicker, yellowish-coloured, opaque, and sometimes have a fishy smell and taste. In boiling water isinglass is entirely dissolved, with the exception of a very minute portion of impurities.

At other times it is laid open, and submitted to some preparation; being either dried unfolded, as in the ''leaf'' and ''honeycomb'' isinglasses; or folded, as in the ''staple'' (''long'' and ''short'') and ''book'' isinglasses; or rolled out, as in the ''ribbon'' isinglass.

8. 1914, A. J. Jarman, “Photographs upon Mica and Similar Material”, ''The Camera'', London: Publishing Company, volume 18, number 7, (w) 50541188, page 398:

There is a general error prevalent that mica is isinglass, and many times it is spoken of as isinglass, but there is a great difference between the two. Mica is mainly composed of silicate of aluminum, while isinglass is a fish gelatine or glue (..)
