Leucite bearing potassic rocks of the area consist of: leucitite, Thephrite and Phonolitic tephrite. Leucite as the indicator mineral of the rocks is present as small and large sizes grains. The rocks are enriched of LILE and depleted of HFSE. The most remarkable process of the area is the strong alteration of the rocks, which is resulted in a wide range of variations of the area particularly on those which were ready to change.
