Leucite
Leucite (potassium aluminum silicate) is a colourless, white, or gray mineral that has a
slightly rounded shape. This mineral can be found in potassium-rich rocks, especially
basalt. Places where leucite can be found include Wyoming, USA, and Italy. This very common
mineral was mined for its potassium content, but now is only of interest to mineralogists.
