For very heavy quarks Q, relations derived from heavy-quark symmetry predict the existence of novel narrow doubly heavy tetraquark states of the form Q_iQ_j¯q_k¯q_l (subscripts label flavors), where q designates a light quark. By evaluating finite-mass corrections, we predict that double-beauty states composed of bb¯u¯d, bb¯u¯s, and bb¯d¯s will be stable against strong decays, whereas the double-charm states cc¯q_k¯q_l, mixed beauty+charm states bc¯q_k¯q_l, and heavier bb¯qk¯ql states will dissociate into pairs of heavy-light mesons. Furthermore, observation of a new double-beauty state through its weak decays would establish the existence of tetraquarks and illuminate the role of heavy color-antitriplet diquarks as hadron constituents.
