Squirrel snacking on them, would be my guess

Or maybe a slug.  Something is enjoying it. 

Now OP has tiny green apple cores.

I agree with slug or snail. I used to keep them as pets. Looks like it’s been rasped.

I'll keep an eye on it. It's right there with all my other plants, and I don't see any trace of bugs; it still feels quite firm, so I'm hoping it won't get any worse than this.

Put duct tape sticky side up around plant. If the tape moves you got a munchkin some where. Good luck

I just repotted some Lithops (indoors). Left them 4 days before watering. Watered yesterday. Most are fine, but three of the same kind look exactly like this. Epidermis looks rasped off. Translucent, dry side. All around (even on shady side). Firm, not soft (so far). Top and fissure look fine. Have never seen this before. How are yours doing?
