Haworthia id please

I am usually OK when it comes to naming Haworthias but this is unlike anything I've grown before. The roots were in a 'net' which is usually used for tissue cultured plants. It's the most transparent Haworthia I've seen, when held up to the light about 90% of the body is translucent. The Haworthia that is quite variable and has translucent leaves is Cooperi but this doesn't fit any of the known forms. Any ideas please.

Could it be the (or related to) famous Haworthia atrofusca "Watermelon"?

Thanks for the help, it set me off on the right track, I checked 'Watermelon' and came across Haworthia 'Ice City' being sold in China which seems to be a good match for this one.

I have this labeled 'Ice City' Stuart.

Mine was bought from a European seller but they seem to be quite common now with many people offering it.

Thanks Chris, I seem to have missed this one until now and it looks really good with the light behind it. I've not forgotten your Onzuka Crests.

Thanks to eBay, I am now the proud new owner of this plant! :razz: (tu) (tu)
It looks even better in real life than in the pictures.
