Yes it is a lithops If you water it a lot I would make a soil for it and put pebbles and sand in it

The most important care tip is not to water when the leaves are opening and a new set is emerging. The new leaves get all the nutrients they need from the old ones. Watering during this period can put it at risk for overwatering and dying.
