Wikipedia
living stone
Lithops is a genus of succulent plants in the ice plant family, Aizoaceae. Members of the genus are native to southern Africa. The name is derived from the Ancient Greek words λίθος (líthos) 'stone' and ὄψ (óps) 'face', referring to the stone-like appearance of the plants. They avoid being eaten by blending in with surrounding rocks and are often known as pebble plants or living stones. The formation of the name from the Ancient Greek -ops means that even a single plant is called a Lithops.

living stone
Living Stone is a term referring to species of succulent plants, notably from the Lithops and Conophytum genus, which are native to southern Africa. These plants are known as "living stone" because their unique shape, color, and size give them a stone-like appearance and allow them to blend in with surrounding rocks as a means of protection against predators. They are also popular as houseplants due to their minimal watering needs. The term "Living Stone" is also occasionally used in metaphorical or spiritual contexts, referring to foundational or enduring truths or principles.
