This unusual combo features yellow cubic fluorite with bladed barite that ranges in color from light peachy pink to a deep red-orange. This variety is sometimes called "leaf barite" due to the thin leaf-like blades which are typically densely-packed in parallel groupings. For some reason when it accompanies fluorite, a common habit for the barite is to instead grow in a round tapered shape like a pointed snail shell—larger ones look like a landform out of an old episode of Star Trek.

There is yellow fluorite on all specimens (it's hiding on the back of option N!). The cubes are mostly well-formed with fair luster and ranging from light to deep golden yellow, some with the faintest of rosy pink hues to the surface.

UV Reactivity: Moroccan yellow fluorite tends to fluoresce well; these specimens glow strong blue-pink under 365nm UV light, as though the core is pink and the surface blue.
