I was really worried about these shipping from so far and being in a box for so long, I was sure that they were going to arrive in bad condition. But I was very pleasantly surprised as I ordered 20 and receive 21 all in great condition. when I first open them they all look pretty similar, but after them being planted for about a week and in the sun their colors coming out and they are all different varieties. They are pretty small and I'm not sure why people are giving less stars for that, because in the title it says .15 to .3 inches So you know what you are ordering. For some reason I can only upload one picture rather than three as I have them in three pots. I was very pleased with these and would order from the seller again. It is a great price for what you get compared to other things I've looked at.
I love these Succulents!!! I received them in 11 days which was way faster then expected. I ordered 50 and planted them. I am excited to watch them grow. Will definitely buy from this seller again.:)
I did receive these in a reasonable length of time. Two were very wrinkly, two others slightly so.. I am not sure if the most withered ones will survive. The taproots were in good condition and whole. From the top textures I might have two varieties but its hard to tell even after almost two weeks of sun they are all greenish grey. They were all about half an inch in width so as described for the size. interesting little plants. Ill post more if they survive and varietal color emerges. The packaging was good they were sent in a envelope but in a firm travel soap type plastic container that protected them well.
Update...here is a picture after a week outdoors and since it got chilly recently two more under a strong grow light. I am able to tell that I got at least three varieties and they all survived and are growing. As they were in a box for so long during shipping I have to say they must have been pretty healthy prior to shipping. I have them in coconut coir as it allows me to water individually as they were in different stages. They are now all pretty well on their way to the split growth stage so I will not be watering anyone of them for a while so that they may absorb the old leaves thoroughly and thereby prevent fungal growth. One is still a little behind but looks as though he will make it. Im adding a star as they have survived but still docking one as I would have preferred a bit more variety as some purchasers received.
Awesome seller!
The bad: took exactly 2 months to get here. First shipment got confiscated by customs “us dept of agriculture”. I emailed seller and had the option for a refund or try shipping again. As a patient person, I said sure ship again.
The good: 2 weeks later I got a big surprise in the mail. A little box from South Korea jammed packed with about50 lithops. Good size, beautiful colors, and a great variety of species. Proof in the pictures. Ordering some more!!
Some of the lithops look like they were in good condition at some point, with good root systems and mostly plump, healthy leaves. However, some arrived dead or nearly dead. It appears that they may have been watered before shipping, or exposed to water when they were handled at customs, because they were wet and soggy in their containers. The result is that many of them are dying from being closed up in an air-tight container with lots of moisture; I think maybe from rot. Most are so limp and soggy that I'm 100% certain the majority won't live. :(
Update:
The seller helped me out with my issue, provided good cutomer service, and I'm satisfied with how everything turned out. I'll be placing a new order when the weather warms up in the spring.

Description
Features:
Color: Please note that slight color difference should be acceptable since colors vary from different sunlight,temperature.
Propagation: Leaf cutting will root in a few weeks;A second method is division consisting of uprooting an overgrown clump and pulling the stems and roots apart.
Various forms: With juicy leaves, stems, or roots, succulents form a vast and diverse group of plants, offering easy-care choices for your home. Plus, they look stunning planted alone or as companions. The color variation of succulents seems almost endless: blue-green, chartreuse, pink, red, yellow, white, burgundy, almost black, variegated, and more. The leaves may be rounded, needlelike, berrylike, ruffled, or spiky.
Easy care: Most are easy to grow because they evolved with special water-storage tissues that allow them to survive in environments that are too dry for most other plants. Most succulents can tolerate higher and lower temperatures as well.Most succulents are dormant during the winter. They need a period of cold to help them produce better blooms in the spring and summer. Sempervivum (the hens and chickens plant), Sedum (stonecrops) and other hardy succulents will knock your socks off; not only because they're so beautiful, but because they will survive in really challenging situations, and come back every year, even after a winter that seems so long that you doubt spring will ever arrive.
Received 20. Very small, mono chromatic. Some plump, some slightly dehydrated. But it took forever to receive them so they were thirsty. A few did not have roots. Received in two tiny plastic sturdy cases, wrapped in a restaurant napkin in a manilla shipping envelope. All intact. After planting they have shriveled up a bit. Using gritty soil. Will get them going. Definitely not large. But if they root they potentially will cluster. Hoping for the best. Waiting with anticipation.
When my order came (in timely fashion), I was in a busy phase, but knew I needed to put them in succulent soil. I planted them in a terra cotta plant saucer for the time being, and just today, had time to return to them. And by the way - sgeeew describes 10 plants in the description - I'm the proud owner of 12! Remember: These are SUPPOSED TO BE SMALL. They WILL BE A LITTLE DEHYDRATED - it's been a long trip! Get them in succulent soil, water them, and then BE PATIENT. I sprayed them with water rather than directly pouring water into the plants and dirt. Repotted them today so their roots may extend down (3"-5" deep pot is recommended) and to my delight, their root systems had already begun their descent, and were only able to extend as far as the saucer was deep! They look healthy, and I now have them surrounded by beautiful shell chips, so I can still see them amidst the shine. Recommend this seller!
They are better than my expectations!! At least 4 colors and 11 of them. I should've ordered 20 or 30 ones. Thank you very much for good quality lithops. I am one of the happy customers.
Adorable plants, came in great condition and exactly as described.
Plants arrived healthy. They are all still aluve and growing. This is a trustworthy seller
