CaTeO4 is Hydrophilite-derived structured and crystallizes in the orthorhombic Pbcn space group. Ca(1) is bonded to two equivalent O(2) and four equivalent O(1) atoms to form CaO6 octahedra that share corners with four equivalent Ca(1)O6 octahedra, corners with six equivalent Te(1)O6 octahedra, and  an edgeedge with one Te(1)O6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles range from 49-58°. Te(1) is bonded to two equivalent O(1) and four equivalent O(2) atoms to form TeO6 octahedra that share corners with six equivalent Ca(1)O6 octahedra,  an edgeedge with one Ca(1)O6 octahedra, and edges with two equivalent Te(1)O6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles range from 49-58°. There are two inequivalent O sites. In the first O site, O(1) is bonded in a distorted trigonal planar geometry to two equivalent Ca(1) and one Te(1) atom. In the second O site, O(2) is bonded in a trigonal planar geometry to one Ca(1) and two equivalent Te(1) atoms.

The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles range from 49-58°. Both Ca(1)-O(2) bond lengths are 2.40 Å. There are two shorter (2.35 Å) and two longer (2.40 Å) Ca(1)-O(1) bond lengths. Te(1) is bonded to two equivalent O(1) and four equivalent O(2) atoms to form TeO6 octahedra that share corners with six equivalent Ca(1)O6 octahedra,  an edgeedge with one Ca(1)O6 octahedra, and edges with two equivalent Te(1)O6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles range from 49-58°. Both Te(1)-O(1) bond lengths are 1.85 Å. There are two shorter (1.96 Å) and two longer (2.02 Å) Te(1)-O(2) bond lengths. There are two inequivalent O sites. In the first O site, O(1) is bonded in a distorted trigonal planar geometry to two equivalent Ca(1) and one Te(1) atom. In the second O site, O(2) is bonded in a trigonal planar geometry to one Ca(1) and two equivalent Te(1) atoms.
