This has been identified in another forum as Gymnocalycium saglionis, but I don't think is correct. Not even sure this is Gymnocalycium.

Then that was the reason I find it so different to the normal form. Thank you.

BADASS cactus. Definitely saglionis. Pretty common, but not crested ones like this. One of my absolute favorite species. They get huge!
