We make a review of the Spanish contribution to the field of crystallography applied to the study of Urinary Lithiasis and assess the current state of the same. We emphasize, by virtue of the number and quality of their works, CIFUENTES, DELATTE and COLLS, SOMACARRERA and ALONSO as pioneers of ultramicroscopic studies. GUILEN CAVERO because of his impressive explanation of Lithogenesis and B. PINTO for his contribution to the generalization of the knowledge of analysed calculation by means of crystallographic methods.
