The human organism creates different deposits in the form of minerals which play an important role in its functioning. Some of them located mainly in blood vessels, kidneys and urinary tracts, biliary tracts, salivary, pancreatic, new growths etc. have a determinately negative effect. Recognition of these minerals, getting to know the conditions in which they grow and first of all the processes of their appearance have a primary meaning in the possibility of prevention of their crystallization. The work shows the results of microscopic and diffractometric tests of uroliths and gallstones. On the basis of this research it is possible to state that there is a certain analogy in the crystallization process of these deposits with crystallization of metals. As far as the process of nucleation is concerned, only heterogenic nucleation takes place. But in the process of growth faced crystals and non-faced crystals appear. Thus, it can be assumed that there are some analogies in the process of metal crystallization with the crystallization of deposits in the human body.
