Unknown succulent


Question
I bought a succulent plant a few days ago, and I really like it, but I don't know exactly what it is. I believe its name starts with an A, but I don't know much more than that. It has a long stem and thick green/pink, petal-like leaves and its shape reminds me of a rose. Here are a few pictures of it:

I'd really appreciate it if you could tell me what kind of plant this is. Thanks a lot for your time

Answer
Jenna,

Your plant is commonly known as a Ghost plant. The Latin name is  Graptopetalum paraguayense. This site has complete info on the plant:

I have grown this for years. It is a fun plant. If you have additional questions after reading that site feel free to write again. Good luck with your new plant.
