Name:For its relationship to glaucocerinite.


Approved by the IMA in 1995, apparently the description has not been published yet. The following information is based on the data for Glaucocerinite - a "best guess" as to the data for this species. It will have to be edited when the description is forthcoming. It has the hydrotalcite structure.

An X-ray powder diffraction pattern is given on the ICDD card 48-1849 (see also the abstract of Witzke et al., 1995).

Classification of Natroglaucocerinite

IMA status:Approved
Nickel-Strunz 10th (pending) edition ID:7.DD.35

7 : SULFATES (selenates, tellurates, chromates, molybdates, wolframates)
D : Sulfates (selenates, etc.) with additional anions, with H2O
D : With only medium-sized cations; sheets of edge-sharing octahedra
