SummaryThe alkali syenites of the Mundwara magmatic suite, Sirohi district, Rajasthan, in north-western India, are chiefly developed in the Musala hill of the complex. They comprise three principal varieties representing different stages of crystallization, viz. nepheline-sodalite syenite, nepheline-barkevikite microsyenite, and nepheline poor leucosyenite. The dominant constituent of these hypersolvus syenites is alkali feldspar, an orthoclase microperthite showing a variable degree of exsolution. The chief mafic mineral is a distinctly green and zoned sodic pyroxene, close to aegirine-augite in composition. A brown calciferous amphibole, identified as a barkevikite, is developed in addition in the microsyenites. Reddish brown biotite of the phlogopite-annite series is common to all the syenites. The petrography and mineralogy of the syenites are discussed, and a comparative study of the Mundwara syenites with similar rocks of the Deccan volcanic province is presented. Chemistry and mineralogy of the syenites of the Mundwara suite suggest that they are related to those associated with the Deccan volcanic province.

Groundwater fluoride and health problem was meticulously studied for dental and skeleton fluorosis except few studies on urolithiasis. Urolithiasis is multi-factorial disease and excess fluoride consumption is one of the causal factors. In view of this, increase of fluoride in groundwater is reported in semiarid Deccan Volcanic Province (DVP), India. To understand the fluoride and urolithiasis association, present study was carried out in Karha river basin of DVP region. Three stages of data generation were adopted for present study such as procuring of medical records of urolithiasis, previous groundwater chemistry data and geochemical investigation of 50 groundwater samples from representative villages. Further, these variables were used for correlation analysis, temporal and spatial distribution to find out their relationships. Result shows medical records of hospitals indicating the gradual increase in urolithiasis is reported during drought situations. In temporal variation, annual fluoride concentration of groundwater and hot days are positively correlated with annual urolith patients as well as spatial study supports the same. In conclusion, present study highlights the relationship of urolith formation with number of hot days, groundwater electrical conductivity and fluoride. However, detailed biomedical study may lead towards understanding of fluoride- urolithiasis relationship.
