Ca3Si3O9
Triclinic heart IMA approved

Breyite is a calcium silicate mineral with the chemical formula calcium trisilicate, represented as Ca3Si3O9. It crystallizes in the triclinic crystal system, which is characterized by three axes of unequal length and angles that are all different and none of which are 90 degrees. Breyite is typically transparent to translucent and exhibits a vitreous luster. Its color is usually white or colorless. With a hardness and density typical of silicate minerals, breyite is classified as a nesosilicate, a group of silicate minerals in which the silicate tetrahedra are isolated from one another.
