It could be Kalanchoe thyrsiflora, like mine.
But it also remimds me of Cotyledon orbiculata. You could try googling them both to see which you think it is.

Ohhh, confused.com!!! lol!!!

Before I read this comment above, I googled the first two and it looked like mine was Kalanchoe something. But I'm going to google Crassula something now. Thank you for being so helpful!!!!!

I just thought of comparing it to the other leaves in the photo. - It's probably Kalanchoe thyrsiflora. The others have smaller leaves.

Sorry to confuse you lol

Nice to be confused in this instance :-)

Third one has smaller leaves so maybe not that one.
But the first two are just about the same to my eyes.. I looked up the second one again and I found a photo with very similar leaves.. "Desert cabbage" or "Pig's ear"? I'm not sure. The former has yellow flowers and the latter orange, so a judgement will be handed down when the plant has flowers? Oh-oh, a ruling could take a couple of years or more lol

For your info, the images I looke up are as follows:

They are very similar. It's difficult to tell which one it is. The flowers should help. I hope you don't have to wait too long.

Have you ever had flowers on yours?

31 Oct, 2011

 

No, not yet. I've had it about 3 yrs. Got it from another GoY member. I hope it will flower one day.

Oh I see. Thank you for the quick answer! I've bought mine 2 years ago. Fingers crossed for you and me!!

Yes, fingers crossed !
