Make it flower :) Stomatiums are nocturnal and highly scented.

I'd have said Faucaria, but the picture is a little small to be sure. Not F. felina or tigrina. Faucarias have fairly smooth leaves, although sometimes with slightly raised white markings. Stomatiums have rough warty leaves and are mostly a lot smaller.

Do you think it could be Faucaria bosscheana.

Looks Like F.Albidens. Stomatiums are much finer in structure than Faucaria, they have quite a diferent flower usually nocturnal often scented. Faucarias, straight forward flower, yellow, big showy, about now, Autumn.
