Calcium stones are most commonly occurring form of nephrolithiasis or urinary stones, which is one of the oldest and common afflictions of humans. The usual components of urinary crystals such as brushite, struvite, Calcium oxalate monohydrate, hydroxyapatite, uric acid, and cystine etc. The calcium oxalate crystals were grown by single diffusion gel growth technique in sodium meta silicate gel. In the present work the growth and characterisation of pure and barium doped calcium oxalate monohydrate crystals. The grown crystals were characterized by FTIR, FT-Raman, XRD, SEM-EDX, TG/DTA analysis and UV-Visible analysis
