Anyone know where to find an echeveria 'dionysos'?

I made a post last week about how I tragically lost most of my succulents, which I was keeping in my graduate student lounge as a "foster windowsill" because my small, dark apartment doesn't have much window space. Some very, very careless human opened windows, in Ohio, in December, and left them open, most likely for the entirety of our winter break. When I came back, all of my succulents had obviously frozen to death.

One of these poor souls was my very favorite succ, my dionysos. Shes unfortunately way beyond any chance of recovery. I cannot find one for sale anywhere when searching over Google and Etsy and anywhere else. I only see the similar echeveria 'purpusorum', which has pointier, slightly longer leaves. Does anyone know where I can buy one of these little ones? I really miss her. #echeveria #echeveriadionysos #sadplant

Mountaincrestgardens.com has it.
Bro gg 😭
I wished I knew more about where to buy this! But most importantly, solidarity from another grad student. Why do people suck?
@vvvelo may know
Oh yes I forgot to tag Vladimir! Thanks, @AwesomePlants! And @chromeowtic hey, fellow grad student! I'm at Bowling Green State University, where are you studying? And people do suck, who opens a window in December when we had -30 degree windchill and a hideous snowstorm over break??
Looks like@to@much water
@vvvelo You're amazing, Vladimir! It's currently not in stock and that may be why it didn't come up in my Google searches, but I'm on the email list for when they have it again. Thank you!
@UnbiasedTree I’m at University of Oregon! I had a friend who went to Bowling Green for undergrad. She studied flute performance hahaha.

And yes! Sometimes grad colleagues just defied logic. Don’t even talk about how microwaves look in grad lounge.
@UnbiasedTree I’d also check Etsy. Btw, did you know that Dionysos and Purpusorum look alike. And Purpusorum it is very common succulent in all store, Home Depot usually sells it.
@UnbiasedTree have you found one yet? I’m so sad for you.
@vvvelo I did check Etsy and couldn't find one, only the purpusorum. And it's the dionysos I want because thats the one I had and the less common one. I actually have a purpusorum form Home Depot already lol
@CaffeinatedFern Not yet, unfortunately πŸ˜” still waiting for any restock from Mountain Crest
@chromeowtic that's awesome! Lol you're right about the grad students and their microwaves πŸ˜‚ I actually think it was a custodian who kept opening the windows. I've since found out that a couple fellow students roaming around during the break had closed the windows for me, but someone kept opening them back up and forgetting about them
@UnbiasedTree for some reason I’ve been so concerned about you getting another one of these plants!!! Mountain Crest Gardens’ website shows they are back in stock. Would you let me send you one? I’d like to seize an opportunity to pay it forward. @Captjo did something very kind for me, so I’d like to keep the kindness going. You can email me. abbyandersen711@gmail.com
@CaffeinatedFern πŸ’š
@CaffeinatedFern omg πŸ₯Ί that is so so sweet of you! I'd love the opportunity to hop on the pay it forward train, if you'd really like to send me one! Thank you for keeping up with the website too! I can definitely email you! ❀❀
@UnbiasedTree yes, please email me and I’ll get the order placed asap! Abbyandersen711@gmail.com
@UnbiasedTree Not trying to be pesky, just want to make sure I didn’t miss an email from you. Did you send me one? (Let’s get you some plants, girl!!)
@CaffeinatedFern I am so sorry, completely forgot! I sent you an email!
