Sverigeite
Sverigeite is a rare mineral with the chemical formula NaMnMgSnBe2(SiO4)3(OH), composed of sodium, manganese, magnesium, tin, beryllium, silicon, oxygen, and hydroxide. It crystallizes in the orthorhombic crystal system and belongs to the nesosilicate class, specifically the Strunz group 9.AE.15. This mineral is notable for its complex composition, which includes the relatively rare elements tin and beryllium. Its physical properties are not well characterized due to its rarity, but it is expected to exhibit a moderate hardness and a density typical of beryllium-bearing silicates. Sverigeite is typically found in metamorphic environments and is of interest to mineralogists due to its unique chemical makeup.
