Description

Another one from a new find in 2007: translucent flourite cubes with greenish cores and yellowish rims settle on matrix accompanied by some hematite-stained barite sheets.

This one is also very special: the crystals show very nice penetration twinning (like the english fluos) of some crystals - the only specimen of this kind that i acquired. The crystals are sharp-edged, transparent to translucent. Despite of some small chips this is a very good and showy one from this recent find.

The locale that was indicated was Oumlaab. At mindat.org the locale is given as Jorf El Melha.
