International audienceHundred kidney stones obtained from the University Hospital of Ouagadougou (Burkina Faso) were finally characterized by a panel of complementary spectroscopic and diffraction tools. The most surprising result is the high occurrence of opaline silica as a component in these kidney stones. Opaline silica is a scarce mineral phase in renal calcification; however, we found that at least 48% of the stones had a detectable proportion of silica. SEM images demonstrate the presence of micrometric objects (of spheroidal shape) in close association with monohydrated calcium oxalate crystals. X-ray fluorescence, XRD and 29Si solid state MAS NMR demonstrate unambiguously the presence of amorphous silica, whose composition is compa...
