Six sided Crassula 'Springtime'?

I found what I think is a 6 sided Crassula 'Springtime' where I work. The normal number of sides is 4. Any opinions about whether it'll be stable or revert to its more normal form?

I did a bit of research and I can't find any other 6 sided Springtimes. But there is a 6 sided form of C. 'Moonglow', another (4 sided) hybrid with the same parents

This would have been cordoned off for later science if I had found at work lol. Hopefully you may get the chance to observe its progress?

I had a few days off and when I came back it was gone. Looking back at the pictures, it appears to be splitting into two four sided heads anyway. I'm going to keep my eye on them in the future to see if there are any more. I suspect if it was a stable six sided form it came from a six sided parent plant still at the grower. We'd potentially get more if this is the case
