Approved by the IMA in 1995, but 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.
As part of the recent re-evaluation of the nomenclature of the hydrotalcite supergroup (Mills et al., 2012), natroglaucocerinite was identified as a questionable species which needs further investigation.

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