I also think S. kirkii v. pulchra, 'Coppertone' or something very 
similar. 

The form I have, purchased long ago at a cactus and succulent show as 
'Coppertone', offsets very slowly and is equally slow to propagate via 
cuttings. Other people who have the plant are often surprised to hear 
this, making me wonder if there is more than one similar cultivar making 
the rounds under the same name.
