Ammonium fluorosilicate
Ball-and-stick model for a unit cell.
Two crystals with small light yellow-orange ice-like grains twining side-by-side, but a clear gap between; selenium contamination darkens the left one.

Ammonium fluorosilicate (also known as ammonium hexafluorosilicate, ammonium fluosilicate or ammonium silicofluoride) has the formula (NH4)2SiF6. It is a toxic chemical, like all salts of fluorosilicic acid.[4] It is made of white crystals,[5] which have at least three polymorphs[6] and appears in nature as rare minerals cryptohalite or bararite.
