It can usually be distinguished from its relatives however, by its dark green leaves which become purple in full sun exposure. (This species is almost as dark as its relative Haworthia maraisii.) The leaves have a scabrous (rough) sub-tuberculate, slightly translucent surface, covered in faint, parallel lines and sometimes light flecked markings.
Wilted and discolored leaves or leaves with visible pests may recover with treatment, but slimy, sunburned, torn, or holey leaves should also be removed to give your plant more energy to heal.

Succulents are remarkable plants. Yes, you read that correctly: Using the fallen leaves and stem cuttings from the succulents in your current collection, you can grow new ones via a process known ...
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.
It may be hairy to hairless but is usually waxy. It may be green to red to dark purple in color, sometimes almost black. The succulent leaves are linear to lance-shaped, 1 to 3 centimetres long, and flat or cylindrical. Flowers occur in clusters along the upper stems, each cluster containing 1 to 12 flowers.
