Description

A specimen of the original find from 2005 of metasideronatrite at this locality. The find is XRD-analyzed by Uwe Kolitzsch. The sideronatrite specimen at mindat.org is metasideronatrite too and the information there is wrong (should be corrected). Don't treat with water! Don't expose to too much of sunlight! Was in our collection for several years. Because of its brittleness please allow some crumbling.
