Abstract
On the basis of x-ray analysis of its crystal structure, weddellite (the tetragonal crystal of calcium oxalate polyhydrate) has been determined to be a zeolitic dihydrate salt. The oxalate ion has at least the symmetry 2mm and possibly the symmetry mmm . The calcium ion is coordinated with eight oxygen atoms arranged in the form of a distorted cubic antiprism.
