Clinobaryl­ite, ideally BaBe2Si2O7 (chemical name barium diberyllium disilicate), is a sorosilicate mineral and dimorphic with baryl­ite. It belongs to a group of compounds characterized by the general formula BaM 2+ 2Si2O7, with M 2+ = Be, Mg, Fe, Mn, Zn, Co, or Cu, among which the Be-, Fe-, and Cu...
