Mystery Succulent?

Hey everyone! I found this beauty at the local Big Box Store and am trying to figure out what it is. It's labelled as a Crassula marginalis rubra 'variegata', aka Calico Kitten. Which this...is not lol. Definitely a variegated variety, and I'm in love with it's colors. Any guesses? @vvvelo @UltraKoreanfir @TheOddAsity do y'all have any thoughts?

Hi Charlie. This is definitely Graptopetalum. At first Iโ€™d guess that this is Superbum variegata, but it looks more as Purple Delight.
Bonus pics of the Pachyveria 'Little Jewel' I got as well. Love it's little pup on the side.
@Charli3Plant that sorta looks like one I got that has struggled yet been a real trooper. I canโ€™t take a great photo becauseโ€ฆ well as you can see. Itโ€™s got these fantastic colors. I have the name of it in my oasis. Brb.
@Charli3Plant this is what it looked like when I got it. Itโ€™s an echeveria โ€™Angel Kissedโ€™ ๐Ÿคท๐Ÿผโ€โ™€๏ธ. Got it at Home Depot
Here's some pics of it in bright natural light. The leaf shape and coloring looks different than your Angel Kissed @TheOddAsity
To me it looks a bit like my - also not 100% IDed - graptoveria superbum. It looks delightful in any case. Congrats on the find.

Edit: as much as I would love a superhuman graptopetalum, I meant superbum ๐Ÿคฆโ€โ™€๏ธ autocorrect messed with me
@Charli3Plant yeah, definitely not the same. But it has the spoon like leaves, which isโ€ฆ echeveria? I will go look for it. I have a website that identifies like 200 of them.
@TheOddAsity which website do you use?
@Charli3Plant so sorry!! Got distracted and had to find where I saved it ๐Ÿ˜‚

https://succulentalley.com/echeveria-types/

Thereโ€™s thumbnails at the top with photos. I think this site hs another list of other ID type stuff.
@Charli3Plant. Sorry Charlie. I would've just thought it to be a sun stressed ghost Echeveria or something. Too many types of Echeveria to even try IDing any that don't have a tag, IMO. I just accept them as a mystery, but pretty Echeveria.
Help me @vvvelo Wan Kenobi, you're my only hope ๐Ÿ˜›

Any guesses what this might be?
Thank you @UltraKoreanfir @TheOddAsity and @MusicalRedmint for your assistance, it is deeply appreciated. ๐Ÿ’š๐Ÿ’š๐Ÿ’š
@UltraKoreanfir nah, Ghost Echeveria (E. lilacina) tend to go pinkish purple when sun stressed, and their leaves aren't as fat (usually). There really are too many varieties out there now ๐Ÿฅด๐Ÿ˜ตโ€๐Ÿ’ซ
@vvvelo oooooooh ๐Ÿ‘€

I've been wanting both of those varieties for a while now, so that's exciting to hear. Thank you for the input, and I'm excited to see how it grows. ๐ŸŒฑ
Did some exploring and yeah, I think that Graptopetalum 'Purple Delight' is definitely the closest match. Apparently their colors can be quite mottled, giving it a variegated appearance.
