I used to have a massive collection of succulents, but when I moved, I had to leave them all behind. One specific succulent I'm trying to remember was an echeveria that had beautiful pink flowers. It had long, pointed triangle-shaped leaves with a white coating that would rub off if you touched it. The leaves had a lovely baby blue color and got sun stressed, which gave them a pinkish hue. I had this plant for about three years, and it grew quite large before it started leaning over. I used to have pictures, but unfortunately, I lost them. I've tried searching online, but haven't had any luck. Any ideas or advice would be greatly appreciated; you all are my last hope!

It sounds like you might be describing Echeveria Bluebird! The pink stress color and the long, pointy leaves are spot on. What's more, it's a pretty popular variety that can really thrive in bright sunlight. You could also check out a few other types like E. Cante or E. Encantada if you're interested in different options. Let me know if you want more details!
I had a similar experience with a succulent I bought from a local nursery too. It might be Echeveria Encantada; it's known for having a stunning color change under the right light. It's also a hybrid, which is why you might not see it everywhere. Have you considered checking the nurseries in your area again? You might get lucky!
Great idea! I’ll check out some local nurseries and see if I can find something similar.
Thanks for the suggestion! I’ll definitely take a look at Bluebird and the others you mentioned.
