- Compounds of the form RESiO$_{5}$ (RE = Rare Earth and related elements) crystallize in one of two forms (Wang, 2001 and Tian, 2016):
- X1, shown here, for rare earths between lanthanum and gadolinium, and
- X2, space group $C2/c$ #15 for the later rare earths, with the dysprosium, yttrium and ytterbium compounds existing in both structures.
- The ICSD entry is from the later work of (Dramićanin, 2006).
