harlem2345,
Lithops is its name and they are plants. However, growers and laymen call them living stones of flowering stones as they look like small stones in their natural surroundings. It's a camouflage to protect them from predators. If I am not wrong they are from southern Africa and grow in very hot and dry areas (Somebody correct me if I am wrong). They can survive in these extreme conditions because they have the unique ability to store water.

By the way Jon,
I've ordered a couple for myself from the nursery you recommended. can't wait for them to arrive. :wub:

At the moment, sometimes you can find them in nurseries up in Cameron Highlands. If not you will need to order them online.

Perhaps when my stocks arrive, I'll see if I can spare you a few.
