- This structure has the same orthorhombic lattice constants as the CaB$_{2}$O$_{4}$ II structure identified in (Marezio, 1969ab), however they state that the structure is stable between 1.2 and 1.5 GPa, while this mineral was obtained
From drillcore into a contact metasomatized limestone near a quartz diorite intrusion associated with a copper deposit in skarn.
(Downs, 2003). - CaB$_{2}$O$_{4}$ exists in at least four phase (Marezio, 1969ab):
- The ground state, stable below 1.2 GPa, Strukturbericht $E3_{2}$
- Orthorhombic high pressure structure, presumably this calciborite structure
- Orthorhombic high pressure structure, stable between 1.5 and 2.5 GPa
- Cubic high pressure structure, stable between 2.5 and 4.0 GPa
