  1. is used to make dental porcelain (or rather, leucite + glass from melting feldspar incongruently). Thiis is becuase it:
    is immune system compatible
    is machinable
    is fracture resistant with low porosity
    it doesn't easily stain or discolour
    and most importantly, its thermal expansion matches the metal anchor

  6. Leucite has a range of volcanic hills named after it, see:
    geowyo.com/leucite-hills.html

    These are strange, high potassium lamproites from the mantle, only 1-2 million years old.

    Match that, organic goo !
