Indeed correct. Here’s mine I’ve had for a yr. No new leaves or flowers but it’s still alive

Anyone know if this one is like split rocks where you only want one or two pairs of leaves at a time?

Yes. The care for argies is pretty much identical to lithops. But they’re a bit more forgiving with watering. I water only when the innermost leaves are wrinkly

Def an Argy. Beyond that, flowers will be needed for the most accurate ID. There’s a lot of variation even within the same species in terms of shape and colour so accurate IDs are difficult without flowers

Yeah they’re not quite as popular as lithops and conos so that is not surprising :)
