The structure and the IR absorption and luminescence spectra of the Lu0.98-хInхEu0.02BO3 orthoborates are studied at 0 ≤ x ≤ 0.1. The Lu1-xInxBO3 solid solution, which consists of lutetium borate LuBO3 having two stable structural modifications (calcite, vaterite) and indium orthoborate InBO3 having one structural modification (calcite), crystallizes at x = 0.1 to form a calcite structure almost throughout the volume. We showed that the structural transformations in the Lu0.98-хInхEu0.02BO3 orthoborates induced by an increase in the In3+ ion concentration begin in the near-surface layers of the orthoborate microcrystals. The amount of calcite increases in the sample volume with x, and calcite occupies 98% of the Lu0.88In0.1Eu0.02BO3 sample volume.
