Nepheline Syenite
Nepheline syenite is a commercially prepared, rare feldspathoid-rich rock product. The process controlfound in most nepheline syenite operations offers a controled level of Fe2O3 that canhelp to improve fired color. Most noncommercial nepheline syenite deposits are gray or dark incolor and have high iron levels that severely limit their potential in industrial applicationshos.
