Scanning electron micrograph of the surface of a kidney stone showing tetragonal crystals of Weddellite (calcium oxalate dihydrate) emerging from the amorphous central part of the stone (the horizontal length of the picture represents 0.5 mm of the figured original)
Weddellite, or calcium oxalate dihydrate, crystallises in a tetragonal system: the classic crystal shape is the eight-face bipyramid. Using bright field microscopy, the weddellite crystals are recognised easily by their shape, reminiscent of a postal envelope.
Oxalate (systematic IUPAC name: ethanedioate) is an anion with the chemical formula C 2 O 2− 4.This dianion is colorless. It occurs naturally, including in some foods. It forms a variety of salts, for example sodium oxalate (Na 2 C 2 O 4), and several esters such as dimethyl oxalate ((CH 3) 2 C 2 O 4).
Whewellite / ˈ h juː ə l aɪ t / is a mineral, hydrated calcium oxalate, formula Ca C 2 O 4 ·H 2 O. [6] Because of its organic content it is thought to have an indirect biological origin; this hypothesis is supported by its presence in coal and sedimentary nodules.
Ammonium oxalate is a chemical compound with the chemical formula [N H 4] 2 C 2 O 4.Its formula is often written as (NH 4) 2 C 2 O 4 or (COONH 4) 2.It is an ammonium salt of oxalic acid.It consists of ammonium cations ([NH 4] +) and oxalate anions (C 2 O 2− 4).
