The crystal structures of 19 samples from the nepheline (NaAlSiO 4 ; Ne)–kalsilite (KAlSiO 4 ; Ks) series, previously prepared via ion-exchange, were examined using synchrotron high-resolution powder X‑ray diffraction (HRPXRD) data and Rietveld structure refinements. Parent materials for the three series include a natural Monte Somma nepheline (series-1), synthetic Na nepheline (series-2), and high-Si synthetic nepheline (series-3), having excess Si mole percentages of 5.2, 1.7, and 12.5%, respectively. Three different structure-types were found to occur among the samples examined: nepheline ( P 63), tetrakalsilite ( P 63), and kalsilite (both  P 6 3  and  P 31 c  intergrowth). Trikalsilite was not observed in this study. Vacancies (◻) at the K site as well as Ca and K atoms at the Na1 site play an important role in the crystal-chemical behavior of nepheline solid solutions. Vacancies cause an elongation in the average &lt;K-O&gt;[9] distance in nepheline. When K atoms enter the Na1 site in nepheline, the average &lt;(Na,K)-O&gt;[7] distance increases linearly and is parallel to the average &lt;(Na,K)-O&gt;[9] distance in kalsilite and the grand mean of such distances in trikalsilite and tetrakalsilite. Before K atoms enter the Na1 site, the average &lt;(Na,K)-O&gt;[7] distance is constant because of the full occupancy of the Na1 site with Na atoms. Ca atoms at the Na1 site in the Monte Somma sample-1 cause a contraction in the &lt;(Na,K)-O&gt;[7] distance. In Na-rich nepheline samples, Na atoms in the large channels occupy a Na(K) site that is off the 6 3  axis and close to the usual K site. In natural nepheline samples, the K site in most cases contains K atoms and ◻, and the Na1 site is filled mainly with Na, minor Ca, and K atoms in K-rich samples. Nepheline from Monte Somma (sample-1) contains weak satellite reflections that are also present in some other kalsilite samples. Average &lt; T -O&gt; distances indicate a high degree of Al-Si disorder in nepheline but increasing Al-Si order in tetrakalsilite and kalsilite. Increasing the amount of K atoms beyond the ideal composition of K 0.25 Na 0.75 [AlSiO 4 ] causes expansion in multiple structural parameters because of the larger size of K +  relative to Na + .
