Natanite is a rare tin and iron hydroxide, from the schoenfliesite subgroup. Natanite and jeanbandyite are the only hydroxides where tin and iron dominate. These specimens we offer show octahedral crystals, very well defined and with an exceptional yellow-orange color and transparence. To add more interest to the pieces, they are accompanied by rhodochrosite crystals on which some have grown. Specimens are very rich in crystals and with a size that satisfies the systematic and the esthetician collectors. The main crystal is: 0,3 x 0,2 cm. 0,12 x 0,08 In. (rhodochrosite).
