The leaves have a scabrous (rough) sub-tuberculate, slightly translucent surface, covered in faint, parallel lines and sometimes light flecked markings.
Longitudinal section of a Lithops plant, showing the epidermal window at the top, the translucent succulent tissue, the green photosynthetic tissue, and the decussate budding leaves growing between the mature leaves. The most startling adaptation of Lithops is the colouring of the leaves.

The leaf sheaths are thin and translucent, 8 to 12 mm long and 5 to 8 mm wide, at the mouth they are long, otherwise glabrous or slightly hairy. Tradescantia zebrina leaves. The low-lying, slightly succulent, perennial, herbaceous plant often forms dense mats or colonies. This is done primarily by natural formation of taproots.
The stem is 2 to 10 mm (0.079 to 0.394 in) in width, and may sometimes branch to form multiple rosettes, but generally plants have a solitary one. The rosettes are typically 0.5 to 4 cm (0.20 to 1.57 in) wide, covered in succulent leaves. The leaves are deciduous, and wither in the early summer, not being replaced until after the first rains.
