I don't call them anything and simply ignore all amorphous. If one were
really in an investigative mode then one could change pH with acid and base
and see which make them disappear and that would tell you which it was.

Try Googling for "amorphous crystal" and "urine". That should give you some
good information and answer your questions.

Good Luck,
