The observed habits of crystals of the compounds α-Ca(NO3)2.2H2O and β-Ca(NO3)2.2H2O can be explained in terms of the crystal structure with the Hartman theory. A structural interpretation is given of the growth of α-phase crystals from a β-phase crystal with the [110] directions of the two phases parallel.
