Another NOID Succulent

This one I bought along with the Haworthia or Aloe (still unsure). I do believe this one is a type of Echeveria, although which one I couldn't say. Initially I thought maybe it was a Perle Von Nurnberg (PVN), but I am not so sure anymore; in fact, the only reason I thought it was, was because of it's pink/purple colour, but now I think the leaves are too narrow and possibly too "fat" to be a PVN.

The pictures above were taken shortly after I brought it home. It looked quite etiolated, but is now in front of my largest south facing window and I think it is enjoying it there. I think it has started to take a better form, leaves are slowly tightening towards the center and baby plants (or possible future flower stem, I don't know) that were there when I purchased the plant, although hidden, are now much more obvious to spot. I don't think it's because those parts have grown, so much as the existing leaves got out of their way.

The following pictures were taken yesterday, and I think you can see that the there has been some progress in shaping (and even in colouring!)

This succulent might not be the PVN I was looking for (and who knows if I'll ever have one, given the difficulties around finding properly tagged succulents around here), but it is a lovely specimen all the same!
