The material described by Fe3(SiO4)2 crystallizes in the monoclinic P2_1/c space group. There are two inequivalent Fe sites. In the first Fe site, Fe(1) is bonded to one O(3), one O(4), two equivalent O(1), and two equivalent O(2) atoms to form distorted FeO6 octahedra that share corners with two equivalent Fe(2)O6 octahedra, corners with four equivalent Fe(1)O6 octahedra, corners with four equivalent Si(1)O4 tetrahedra,  an edgeedge with one Fe(2)O6 octahedra, and  an edgeedge with one Si(1)O4 tetrahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles range from 47-63°. In the second Fe site, Fe(2) is bonded to two equivalent O(1), two equivalent O(3), and two equivalent O(4) atoms to form FeO6 octahedra that share corners with four equivalent Fe(1)O6 octahedra, corners with two equivalent Si(1)O4 tetrahedra, edges with two equivalent Fe(1)O6 octahedra, and edges with two equivalent Si(1)O4 tetrahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles range from 56-63°. Si(1) is bonded to one O(1), one O(2), one O(3), and one O(4) atom to form SiO4 tetrahedra that share  a cornercorner with one Fe(2)O6 octahedra, corners with four equivalent Fe(1)O6 octahedra,  an edgeedge with one Fe(1)O6 octahedra, and  an edgeedge with one Fe(2)O6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles range from 45-61°. There are four inequivalent O sites. In the first O site, O(1) is bonded in a rectangular see-saw-like geometry to one Fe(2), two equivalent Fe(1), and one Si(1) atom. In the second O site, O(2) is bonded in a distorted trigonal planar geometry to two equivalent Fe(1) and one Si(1) atom. In the third O site, O(3) is bonded in a distorted trigonal planar geometry to one Fe(1), one Fe(2), and one Si(1) atom. In the fourth O site, O(4) is bonded in a 3-coordinate geometry to one Fe(1), one Fe(2), and one Si(1) atom. is represented by the CIF card [CIF]
