Crystals of Na5RE4F[SiO4](4) (RE = Pr, Nd, Sm-Tm) and K5Pr4F[SiO4](4) were grown using a fluoride flux synthetic technique. All compositions crystallize in the tetragonal space group I (4) over bar with lattice parameter ranges of a = 11.5094(2)-12.3745(2) angstrom and c = 5.37000(10)-5.5011(2) angstrom. Antiferromagnetic ordering is observed for Na5RE4F[SiO4](4) (RE = Tb, Dy), second harmonic generation for Na5RE4F[SiO4](4) (RE = Pr, SmHo), and intense optical properties and fluorescence quantum yield for Na5RE4F[SiO4](4) (RE = Eu, Gd, Tb). The crystal structures and physical property measurements are discussed.
