I have recently found out I have natural armor +2.
I also have an Item of Natural armor +2 do these stack?

No, both will provide you Natural Armor bonus to AC. The same types of bonuses do not stack.
Fill that item slot (maybe amulet?) with other magic item.

I believe that in 3.5, spells like barkskin and items like the amulet of natural armor will provide an enhancement bonus to natural armor, and will stack with any existing natural armor.
You might want to check the 3.5 revisions thread to be sure (if you're converting.)

Ah, here it is:
t. Barkskin is now a 2nd level spell that gives +2 AC +1 (natural armor bonus) per 3 levels over 3 to a max of +5. It lasts 10 min/level. Barkskin now grants an enhancement bonus to a creature's natural armor bonus, in the same way that magic armor grants an enhancement bonus to the armor's armor bonus. This means it *stacks* with a creature's existing natural armor, making it a great spell for the druid's animal companion. The progression is +2 at 3rd, +3 at 6th, +4 at 9th, and +5 at 12th and above. In general, magic effects that increase natural armor should all be read as adding an enhancement bonus to natural armor (most, if not all, state this clearly). Thus, barkskin wouldn't stack with the amulet. The only "source" for actual natural armor is to get it as a racial feature of your creature "kind."
Now, that's only for 3.5 - and you couldn't be reincarnated as a centaur in 3.5...but if you are converting you may get the best of both worlds...

Well, it's like an enhancement bonus to armor. It does make a certian amount of sense... though now we have the debate of enhancing something that's not there again. Does new natural armor enhancement bonus work when you don't have natural armor to enhance in the first place? Though the old rules kind of allowed this (magic vestment + non-armor shirt) though that was always argueable...dcollins said:

You just have to think of your skin as armor.
if you have no "natural armor: than you just get the bonus from the spell of item. If you have NA than it stacks on to what you already have. Simple.
