| length fast/slow = Synchysite is a group of carbonate minerals. The three isostructural chemical end members are synchysite-(Ce), synchysite-(Nd) and synchysite-(Y). Huanghoite-(Ce) belongs to the group, but has a different symmetry and calcium is replaced by barium.
| Mineral name | Chemical formula | Symmetry | Space group |
|---|---|---|---|
| Huanghoite-(Ce) | 3\;2/m | R\;\overline{3}\;m | |
| Synchysite-(Ce) | 2/m | C\;2/c | |
| Synchysite-(Nd) | 2/m | C\;2/c | |
| Synchysite-(Y) | 2/m | C\;2/c |
