Hydroxylgugiaite
Hydroxylgugiaite is a rare mineral with the chemical formula (Ca,☐)2(Si,Be)(Be,Si)2O5(OH)2. It belongs to the tetragonal crystal system and crystallizes in the space group P-42₁m. This mineral is a complex beryllium silicate containing hydroxyl groups. It is classified as a nesosilicate due to its isolated tetrahedral structure. Hydroxylgugiaite typically exhibits a vitreous luster and is generally colorless or white in appearance. It has a moderate hardness and a relatively high density, though specific values are not commonly reported. Its principal physical properties include its tetragonal symmetry and the presence of both silicon and beryllium in its structure.
