Abstract. Calcium manganese magnesium hydrogen phosphate (CaMnMgHPO4) crystals are present in urinary tracts. The crystals are grown by the single diffusion growth technique in water glass (sodium meta silicate gel medium) at different growth parameters. The grown crystals are in the form of different types and various morphologies are observed. The grown crystals are characterized and analyzed by FTIR and TGA/DTA, XRD, SEM and etching.
