The alkali syenites of Podili represent a mildly undersaturated nepheline nonnative microsyenites (NNMS) and quartz nonnative microsyenites (QNMS). All the microsyenites have developed nonnative acmite and are totally free from normative hypersthene. In contrast, the quartz syenites always carry normative hypersthene and are invariably devoid of normative acmite.
In the variation diagrams. the PodiIi syenites form distinct petrochemical trends indicating their consanguineous relationship. A dichotomous differentiation trend is discernible.
