  • Eudidymite and its diomorph epididymite ($S4_{7}$) are two forms of hydrated sodium beryllium silicate which are stable under ambient conditions. (Diego Gatta, 2008)
  • The occupancy of the sites making up the water molecule (H-I, H-II and O-IX) is 50%. In the picture on this page the atoms forming the water molecules appear doubled because of this.
