Math symbol question

[Cláudio Geraldo Schön]

Sorry to make this silly question, but I'm writing a paper containing
crystallographic notations using LyX and I need the symbol for parallel
planes or directions ("//", i.e. two slash bars, but spaced closer than
normal), I already looked at the AMS-LaTeX documentation, but couldn't
find this symbol in the list of the million and one amsfont provide. Do
somebody know how to write this symbol in LyX?

Thanks in advance,
Cláudio Schön

PS. Two slash bars side-by-side don't look good.

Thanks for the information, \sslash using stmaryrd package in the
preamble did the job.
