Can anyone help me identify this plant? The store I got it from said it’s “Blue Jobs Tears” but I can’t find anything about it on this app. Thank you!

Sometimes a close up picture helps with the identification feature

I believe that this is a pilea glauca though  
Sometimes google is more helpful than Planta 🥰

First glance- string of hearts 🤷🏼‍♀️

I wish it was string of hearts lol the description said Blue Job’s Tears (Coix lacryma-jobi) which is a type of grass in the Poaceae family. It produces bead-like seeds often used for jewelry and rosaries. Some varieties have a bluish tint to them, so I think that’s what this is!
