This species comes from a limited area of the Northern Cape Province of South Africa. Steve Hammer collected the original material (SH 531) that these plants were propagated from. It produces numerous offsets, grows on bedrock slopes, and reputedly is one of the most beautiful Lithops in habitat. The heads are a light gray-green in color with darker scalloping on the margins, and the flowers are large and yellow. These plants are rooted offsets in 2-inch pots.
