It's a Haworthia, nice one, but I don't know which.

Pls. don't leave it out in direct sun as it'll burn, it's more of a semi-shade to shade succulent. Pretty low maintenance too.

I believe a form of Haworthia retusa.

I believe I have the same clone. Mine has become a little denser since I moved it to brighter light, but it still has the same leaf shape with the windowed surface tilted slightly and teeth on only one edge (sorry for the fuzzy phone pic). I tried for 4 years to find a definite ID for this one. I've seen this plant listed under at least 8 names, but Haworthia mirabilis mundula is the only one I'm comfortable with. Haworthia classification seems to be fairly anarchistic so I label mine based on general consensus since authoritative sources can't seem to agree.
Excellent plant tho, mine has survived horrific neglect without flinching and it never stops making babies!

I believe Haworthia retusa var. longibracteata.
