β-Cu3Fe4(VO4)6 single crystals were synthesized. The X-ray, magnetic, Mössbauer, and EPR investigations of the crystals were fulfilled. It is established that single-crystal β-Cu3Fe4(VO4)6 is a spin glass at low temperatures. Freezing temperature varies considerably depending on the orientation of the magnetic field relative to the crystal axes. Spin-glass state is confirmed by the relaxation of the magnetization.
