Etymology
Stoneface comes from the two simple English words stone 'a hard rock' and face 'the front or top part'. Gardeners call the plant this because its thick leaves form a flat 'stone face' that looks just like a pebble and hides among rocks. So the name helps you remember that the plant looks like a stone and blends into its rocky home.
