Nepheline Syenite is an anhydrous sodium potassium alumino-silicate. This material has a big advantage over feldspar: It does not contain quartz.

Because of its sodium content, high nepheline syenite glazes tend to craze (because of the high thermal expansion of Na2O). Also, since nepheline syenite has more alumina than most feldspars, substituting it into recipes means that on one hand a lower melting temperature is achieved while on the other a more viscous melt results because of the extra alumina.

The current version of Nepheline Syenite imported by Abbots is 200# and may promote matte effects in glazes.
