A new simplified synthesis of monocrystalline chips of SrB4O7: Sm2+ pressure calibrant, well-suited for the diamond anvil cell (DAC) powder diffraction experiments, is proposed. It consists of ordinary solid-state synthesis of fine-grained SrB4O7: Sm2+ and subsequent annealing near melting temperature. The obtained material was characterized and tested in HP-HT DAC experiment.
