Not fasciata unfortunately! This is a form of Haworthia attenuata sometimes sold as "var. caespitosa". H. fasciata never has spots on the upper surface of the leaves. One of the key characters of true fasciata is the glabrous upper surface of the leaves, ALWAYS entirely devoid of any spots or markings.

Some of those references are very good at showing the differences. Your image above is clearly Haworthia attenuata as it has spots on the upper surface of the leaves. Haworthia fasciata never has spots on the upper surface of the leaves. Instead they are entirely glabrous.
