I think this sentence is perhaps a bit funny. "It is very occasionally found in mica schist and gneiss."
Someone who agrees?
Ok...now that we know...
Nepheline, also called nephelite (from Greek: nephos, "cloud"), is a feldspathoid: a silica-undersaturated aluminosilicate, Na3KAl4Si4O16, that occurs in intrusive and volcanic rocks with low silica, and in their associated pegmatites. It is very occasionally found in mica schist and gneiss.
...what the heck is the stuff most commonly used for?!?! That should be in the first paragraph as well. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 199.227.45.26 ( talk • contribs) 14:49, 18 November 2007
I agree - nepheline is a major resource in Kyrgyzstan. But what is it used for? —Preceding

NaAlSi04 is not radioactive but KNa3Al4Si4O16 which is the typical composition of natural nepheline would be very sligtly radioactive due to the potassium. 95.192.20.73 ( talk) 23:59, 26 November 2017 (UTC)
