Calcium Cadmium tartrate single crystals were grown in silica gel at ambient temperature. Effect of various parameters like gel pH, and gel aging, gel density and concentration of reactants on the growth of these crystals were studies. Crystals having different morphologies and habits were obtained. Transparent, pyramidal shaped like diamonds crystals of Calcium Cadmium tartrate were obtained. Some of them were faint yellowish, milky white, due to fast growth rate attached crystals are obtained; faces are well developed and polished. The crystals grown were characterized by PL, SEM, and UV. XRD studies reveal that the crystal lattice of the Calcium Cadmium is orthorhombic and crystalline perfection of the crystals is extremely good. Photoluminescence spectrum shows Cyan, green and orange emissions. SEM image showed plate like morphology and further plate like growth was observed on some plates
