Leucite also is rare in plutonic rocks and (A barrier constructed to contain the flow of water or to keep out the sea) dike rocks, but leucite-syenite and leucite-tinguaite bear witness to the possibility that it may occur in this manner.
By far the greater number of the rocks which contain leucite are (Rock that in its molten form (as magma) issues from volcanos; lava is what magma is called when it reaches the surface) lavas of (From 63 million to 2 million years ago) Tertiary or recent geological age.
Leucite lavas from which felspar is absent are divided into the leucitites and leucite (The commonest type of solidified lava; a dense dark gray fine-grained igneous rock composed chiefly of calcium-rich plagioclase feldspar and pyroxene) basalts.

 Chemically derived leucite - Patent 5622551
A process of making chemically derived leucite comprising the step of admixing a potassia precursor, an alumina precursor and a silica precursor to form a uniform suspension of finely divided particles in a liquid medium such that the particles are capable of remaining uniformly distributed throughout the spension for at least on hour a 25.degree.
Typically, leucite is incongruently crystallized (i.e., the stoichiometric composition of the amorphous matrix differs from that of the crystalline phase which derives from it) by the heat treatment of a precursor (i.e., antecedent) glassy matrix containing potassia, alumina, silica and other components such as alkali fluxes, nucleating agents and grain growth inhibitors.
The leucite phase field 1 is enclosed within phase boundary lines 2 and denotes the region of the phase diagram within which the first crystalline solid to be formed on cooling has the chemical composition of leucite.

 Machinable leucite-containing porcelain compositions and methods of manufacture - US Patent 6133174   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
At room temperature, leucite normally exists in the tetragonal configuration because it is the thermodynamically stable configuration of leucite at this temperature.
The porcelain leucite compositions of the present invention comprise a continuous glassy matrix phase and a homogenous, dispersed fine crystalline phase comprising leucite.
This tendency of the leucite is commonly considered a negative attribute in the glass-ceramic field; however, in the present invention it is considered beneficial because it allows additional control of the leucite phase morphology as well as expanding the range of compositions that are suitable for use in the present invention.

Generally, the leucite is present in an amount in the range from about 5% to about 65% by weight of the total composition, and preferably in the range from about 5% to about 40% by weight of the total composition.

 Olympus Microscopy Resource Center: Polarized Light Microscopy Gallery - Leucite Nepheline Tephrite
Leucite is a feldspathoid mineral that can be found only in igneous rocks.
Leucite is relatively rare, but some of the most notable occurrences are found in Uganda, Rome, and Wyoming.
Similar to leucite, nepheline is sometimes utilized for commercial purposes, primarily as a substitute for feldspar in the production of ceramic and glass items.

 High strength feldspathic dental porcelains containing crystalline leucite - Patent 4798536
Although not wishing to be bound by any theory or mechanism, it is currently believed that such leucite crystallites serve as nuclei during the fusing and cooling process in order to initiate further crystalline leucite nucleation and growth in the magma.
Na.sub.2 O is an inhibitor of leucite crystal growth during the fusing and cooling process.
While the invention has been described in accordance with desirable embodiments and details of procedure, it is obvious that many changes and modifications may be made in the details thereof and in the characteristics of the compositions and articles obtained therefrom without departing from the spirit of the invention.

The total level of imports and exports on a worldwide basis, and those for each region, is based on a model which aggregates across over 150 key country markets and projects these to the current year.
Combined, Chapters 3 and 4 present the complete picture for imports and exports of felspar, leucite nepheline, and nepheline syenite to and from all major countries in the world.
