The rocks are mostly pale colored, grey or pink, and in general appearance they are not unlike granites, but dark green varieties are also known.

Because nepheline only occurs in rocks that are deficient in silica, nepheline syenite products are virtually silica-free. Covia’s nepheline syenite is responsibly mined from high-purity ore reserves in Blue Mt., Ontario, Canada. In functional fillers, nepheline’s hardness confers excellent resistance to abrasion, fading, cracking and aging associated with environmental and chemical exposures. The mineral’s angular particle shape and low surface area give nepheline syenite coatings easy dispersibility.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv
