Szklaryite is an extremely rare mineral with the formula []Al6BAs33+O15.[2] It is essentially vacant ("[]"), arsenic-dominant member of dumortierite supergroup, giving a name of szklaryite group. It is one of three quite recently found minerals of this group, the other two being nioboholtite and titanoholtite, all coming from the Szklary village near Ząbkowice Śląskie in Poland.[3] They occur in a unique pegmatite of probable anatectic origin.[4]
