Detailed Mineral List:

Natrojarosite
Formula: NaFe3(SO4)2(OH)6
Description: Scheerer (1838) describes a mineral as "Gelbeisenerz" occuring on schist, and determines a formula very close to the one of natrojarosite. Van der Wel made a new analysis of a yellow mineral labled Mælum, Modum - that might be the same as Scheerer described, and it turned out to be natrojarosite (Neumann (1985)
