Abstract
The Calcium Oxalate crystallization is of special interest because of its wide-spread occurrence in biomineralization processes [I-51. The formation of renal stones involves very often the precipitation of calcium oxalates. Calcium oxalate inonohydrate (COM) and calcium oxalate dihydrate (COD) are the crystalline fomls of calcium oxalate (CaOx) most commonly found in kidney stones [S]. Although thermodynamically unstable with respect to the monohydrate the COD is more commonly seen in urine [6].
