Are there different kinds of lithops? I love how unique they are and want to get one, but I'm not sure where to start! What kinds, colors, and shapes are your guys favorite?

Hi. Yes, there are around 40 different species. If you want to see a list, go to Llifle dot com and search in the Succulent encyclopedia.

As far as getting them, I have exactly two diff species, and I got them from Home Depot. If you want variety, Etsy is your place.
