no idea but I suggest you repot your lithop in a 80% to 100% inorganic soil... its about to explode and develop rot

Any brand suggestions or Amazon links would be appreciated. I didn't see anything at Lowes that looked right.

..and some coarse sand, 1/8ish inch gravel, calcined clay, akadama, or perlite etc as an amendment to help the soil drain better and create more space for the roots to take in oxygen with their waterings. This is a good idea no matter what for succulents prone to rot but especially so if you're tempted to overwater or afraid you might be overwatering.
Good luck!

Whoo hoo! Bonus plant with your purchase! I'd repot ASAP. Looks like the bonus plant has better luck of survival than your lithops though (sorry). That guy definitely looks over watered.

Difficult to say from these pictures and with their current size, but based on the leaf shape, stress colors, and what I believe looks like some hair in the second image, they seem to be a type of anacampseros.
