A nice, massive and even attractive specimen, part of the original find from 2005 of metasideronatrite at this locality. The find was XRD-analyzed by Uwe Kolitzsch. The sideronatrite specimen at mindat.org is metasideronatrite too and the information there is wrong (should be corrected soon). Beware! This is a Gremlin! Don't clean with water! Don't expose to of sunlight!
