This fluorite was self-collected in 2009 at the Lhamda Mine, near Touroug, Er Rachidia, Morocco. It has an uncommon orange colour for the locality (they are usually yellow at the surface). It has moderate lustre and some colour change if illuminated with the sun light, turning much more green at the core. It displays also a strong fluorescence under long, medium and short UV waves.
