BeZn3O4 is Enargite-like structured and crystallizes in the tetragonal I-42m space group. Be(1) is bonded to four equivalent O(1) atoms to form BeO4 tetrahedra that share corners with four equivalent Zn(1)O4 tetrahedra and corners with eight equivalent Zn(2)O4 tetrahedra. There are two inequivalent Zn sites. In the first Zn site, Zn(1) is bonded to four equivalent O(1) atoms to form ZnO4 tetrahedra that share corners with four equivalent Be(1)O4 tetrahedra and corners with eight equivalent Zn(2)O4 tetrahedra. In the second Zn site, Zn(2) is bonded to four equivalent O(1) atoms to form ZnO4 tetrahedra that share corners with four equivalent Be(1)O4 tetrahedra, corners with four equivalent Zn(1)O4 tetrahedra, and corners with four equivalent Zn(2)O4 tetrahedra. O(1) is bonded to one Be(1), one Zn(1), and two equivalent Zn(2) atoms to form corner-sharing OBeZn3 tetrahedra.

Be(1) is bonded to four equivalent O(1) atoms to form BeO4 tetrahedra that share corners with four equivalent Zn(1)O4 tetrahedra and corners with eight equivalent Zn(2)O4 tetrahedra. All Be(1)-O(1) bond lengths are 1.68 Å. There are two inequivalent Zn sites. In the first Zn site, Zn(1) is bonded to four equivalent O(1) atoms to form ZnO4 tetrahedra that share corners with four equivalent Be(1)O4 tetrahedra and corners with eight equivalent Zn(2)O4 tetrahedra. All Zn(1)-O(1) bond lengths are 2.02 Å. In the second Zn site, Zn(2) is bonded to four equivalent O(1) atoms to form ZnO4 tetrahedra that share corners with four equivalent Be(1)O4 tetrahedra, corners with four equivalent Zn(1)O4 tetrahedra, and corners with four equivalent Zn(2)O4 tetrahedra. All Zn(2)-O(1) bond lengths are 2.00 Å. O(1) is bonded to one Be(1), one Zn(1), and two equivalent Zn(2) atoms to form corner-sharing OBeZn3 tetrahedra.
