Nephiline
Nephiline ((Na,K)AlSiO4) is a mineral found almost exclusively in the zinc deposits at Franklin, New Jersey, often in intimate mixture with franklinite[?] and willemite[?]. It has a relative hardness of 6.
The Nephilinae are a subfamily of spiders, the most conspicuous web-spinners in the tropics[?]. The females are particularly colorful and large, and their orb webs[?] can exceed a meter in diameter.
