Found this unlabeled plant at a nursery that owners could not identify. It was displayed with other succulents but shoved into a dark corner. Leaves are flattened, semi-succulent to the touch and seem to grow very close together, almost 50% of one leaf overlapping 50% of new leaf. Coloring is a matte drab olive but with tints of purple in center of each head; Has a sort of many- heads growth pattern usually found in mounding plants... (Already posted in Plant ID thread)

Maybe a jovibarba..like this one: http://www.sequimrareplants.co...
The plant may need more sun to show off its colors better.

Thanks for the link, Tarev. I've never seen this nursery so I did some online window shopping on it!
Anyway, my plant does look a little like that one in shape but it has never shown any color except for what is shown in my photo. I've had it for over a year and it's never changed color. Also I have Jovibaras and this unk. plant seems to be so different from them. I bought the plant because it looks so different from all the semps and echeverias I already have. Maybe it's too different... Hilarious!

I bought this from the cheap/throw away section of Bunnings to give it a home. Can anyone identify it? Accompanying is the very unhelpful label.

The problem is that when you are young your life it is ruined by your parents. When you are older it is ruined by your children.

That looks pretty! Still viable inspite the leaf injuries it sustained. Can't id it right away..maybe observe a little more if it will change colors as it gets more sun. At first glance, I would think it is a Kalanchoe..but who knows..it just might be an echeveria.

Check this site, they have lots of echeveria photos, it may eventually match one of them as your plant matures and recovers more:
