Crystals of cholic acid have been grown in silica and tetramethoxy silane gels. Crystals grew with different morphology and Leisegang rings were also seen in some cases. Crystals were analyzed by X‐ray, IR and microhardness studies. The grown crystals were found to be monohydrate and the hardness of the crystals were found to decrease with increase of load.
