It’s because the old leaf pair are etiolated and overwatered. The new leaves only have this option to try and break free. It’s generally the hopeful split for etiolated specimens, as the new leaves will be a normal height and not stretched.

Psst.. the singular form of Lithops is still Lithop**s**! The name comes from lithos (stone) + ops (face). To quote [Wikipedia](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lithops), “The formation of the name from the Greek “-ops” means that even a single plant is called a Lithops.”
Looking for Lithops care? See our [Lithops guide here](https://www.reddit.com/r/succulents/wiki/mesembs_care_guides/#wiki_lithops_.28living_stones.29).
