1433 Geramtina
1433 Geramtina, provisional designation , is a stony Gefion asteroid from the central regions of the asteroid belt, approximately 14 kilometers in diameter. It was discovered by Belgian astronomer Eugène Delporte at the Royal Observatory of Belgium in Uccle on 30 October 1937.

The asteroid was named "Geramtina" after the sister of Swedish astronomer Bror Asplind. "Geramtina" has an ordinary chondritic composition and has been considered a candidate for being the parent body of the H chondrites. However, results are inconclusive, and recent HCM analysis suggest that "Geramtina" is a Gefionian interloper rather than a core member of the family. The asteroid has a tentative rotation period of 14 hours.
