Got this from a small seller on a whim. He said it was rare but everyone does lol. However I've genuinely not seen it before! Anybody know? It feels like moonstones but has a dusty coating on the leaves and stems.

Moonstone are usually more roundish. Less oblong. It seems more cotyledon to me too. There are a ton ov var though. Especially with the little red 'mouth' shapes. The white you're seeing is probably Farina, which is normal, and not anything like powdery mildew

And try not to mess up the farina. It is not replaceable and the marks will stay on the plant.

Oh man, I'm remember the post where someone who didn't even own succulent told someone to "just wash it off" 😬😬😬
