Abstract
A B-bearing hingganite related mineral shows an ordering of (Y,Yb)/(Y,Ca) at the 8-coordinated Y-sites to lower the symmetry of monoclinic crystal structure from P21/a to P21. This mineral, [(Y,Yb)(Y,Ca)]( ,Fe)Si2(Be,B)2O8(OH)2, is characterized with a solid solution towards datolite composition [Ca2 Si2B2O8(OH)2] in addition to the other end member composition [YCa Fe3+Si2Be2O8(OH)2].
