The purpose of the present study was to explore the possible morphological features and growth patterns of calcium oxalate monohydrate crystals. The study was carried out on a glass slide under microscope. The results showed that the calcium oxalate monohydrate crystals may be present in the form of arborescent, donut, dumbbell, needles, platy, prismatic, rosette, round edges, loose agglomerates and compact aggregates. The study provides detailed information about the morphology and aggregation patterns of calcium oxalate monohydrate crystals.
