I was looking thru some pictures online and saw this strange looking plant, I think it is pretty and unusual looking.

Do you know what this plant is?

It looks like the succulent Echeveria. I looked through hundreds of images and could not find one that where the rosette was square. Some species are native to only certain areas so there is not telling where it comes from. If it is Echeveria, it belongs to the family Crassulaceae. I don't know how helpful I'm being here. Anyone else?

This is a top-down view of the stem of a hybrid succulent Crassula. Its correct name is Crassula x 'Myron Kimnach', but it is much more commonly known by the synonym Crassula x 'Buddha's Temple'. It is a hybrid of Crassula pyramidalis and Crassula perfoliata var. falcata.
Both parent species are native to South Africa.
