Take a flashlight / fiber light source and illuminate a small part of the lithops top window, and the entire transparent plant body lights up!
Note the differences in the daylight/glow appearance of the lithops windows!

Lithops are extremely succulent plants originating from the semi-deserts of southern Africa. Their plant body rests under ground, while on top they have transparent windows to let sunlight in for photosynthesis. A camouflage pattern on the windows lets them appear more or less like a pair of pebblestones, so hungry animals may hardly find them. I like them because they look like ornamented knobs or gemstones.

This one grew in the nursery of Uwe Beyer
and I ordered it by mail from his webshop

Be aware that sites from the southern hemisphere
have a six-month-shift in the description of the
annual lithops growing cycle.
