Leucitite or leucite rock is an igneous rock containing leucite. It is scarce, many countries such as England being entirely without them. However, they are of wide distribution, occurring in every quarter of the globe. Taken collectively, they exhibit a considerable variety of types and are of great interest petrographically. For the presence of this mineral it is necessary that the silica percentage of the rock should be low, since leucite is incompatible with free quartz and reacts with it to form potassium feldspar. Because it weathers rapidly, leucite is most common in lavas of recent and Tertiary age, which have a fair amount of potassium, or at any rate have potassium equal to or greater than sodium; if sodium is abundant nepheline occurs rather than leucite.

  • La leucitite in senso stretto è una roccia eruttiva effusiva iposilicica e peralcalina ultrapotassica, nella quale la leucite forma oltre il 90% del volume della roccia, con piccole quantità di clinopirosseno e olivina ± sanidino ± plagioclasio ± nefelina ± melilite ± apatite. La tessitura è afanitica olocristallina o ipocristallina, generalmente con fenocristalli di leucite idiomorfi (di forma icosaedrica) o arrotondati e spesso pecilitici. Il colore è generalmente chiaro. (it)
  • Leucytyt (leumafit) – należąca do foidytów skała magmowa, wulkaniczna o strukturze drobnoziarnistej i porfirowej. Głównymi minerałami są leucyt (podstawowy minerał jasny) i augit, rzadziej melilit i oliwin (podstawowe mineały ciemne). Większość odmian leucytytów zawiera 40–70% minerałów ciemnych (odmiany te nazywa się melaleucytytem), odmiany jasne, mające poniżej 40% składników ciemnych zwą się leukoleucytytem. (pl)
  • Leucitit ist ein vulkanisches Gestein (Vulkanit). Es gehört zu den Foiditen, und besteht zu großen Teilen aus Leucit (K[AlSi2O6]), verschiedenen Klinopyroxenen und dunklen Olivinen ((Mg,Fe)2[SiO4]). Als weitere, felsische Gemengteile können auch Nephelin und/oder Vertreter der Sodalithgruppe Sodalith, Haüyn und Nosean auftreten, die jedoch mengenmäßig hinter Leucit zurücktreten. Sinkt der Anteil von Leucit (bzw. an der Gesamtheit der Foidminerale) an den felsischen Bestandteilen unter 90 %, wird von einem tephritischen bzw. phonolithischen Leucitit gesprochen, bei weniger als 60 % wird die Bezeichnung nach dem Foidmineral aufgegeben (vgl. hierzu die Einteilung im Streckeisendiagramm).
