Abstract
The macroscopic study of the surface and the section of a stone usually enables us to determine its qualitative chemical composition; in lithiases containing calcium oxalate (117 cases out of 147 stones analyzed at random or 79.6 %), two crystallochemical types of Ca oxalates can be distinguished. A macrochemical analysis does not enable us to make this distinction. Only methods of physical exploration enable us to specify the crystalline type of these oxalates. A parallel study using diffracted X-rays (the powder diagrams method) and infrared spectrometry enables us to identify the two types of oxalates, one mono- (C1) and the other 2. 25 hydrated (C2).
