Nepheline syenite is a holocrystalline plutonic rock that consists largely of nepheline and alkali feldspar.[1] 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. Phonolite is the fine-grained extrusive equivalent.
