I had a quick check and found that the previous Nepheline Syenite was
Norfloat. They removed themselves from the UK craft materials market by
raising the minimum order quantity beyond a feasible limit. Northcape is
now the only one available to us. It is approximately 3 percent lower in
Silica than the other.
Best regards
Steve
