Gallstones develop when cholesterol and other substances in the bile form crystals that become hard stones in the gallbladder. The gallbladder is a small sac located just under the liver. Gallstones can occur when your gallbladder does not empty properly or if you have too much cholesterol in your bile. Too much cholesterol in your bile is not caused by eating too much cholesterol or having high cholesterol (in the blood).
Types of gallstones that can form in the gallbladder include: 1  Cholesterol gallstones. The most common type of gallstone, called a cholesterol gallstone, often appears yellow in color. 2  Pigment gallstones. These dark brown or black stones form when your bile contains too much bilirubin.
