Need help identifying and saving/propagating

Hi! :D

I'm new here, and I'm very new to gardening. I have a few succulents so far. My roomate has one as well, which is what this post is about.

This succulent got knocked over and fell. It's now slightly crooked and two leaves have popped off. :cry:

I was wondering if anyone had advice on whether or not the original will be okay, and on if the fallen leaves can be propagated.

Any advice is apreciated!!!

So sorry that happened, I've done that too. That does look like the kind of plant that will generate babies/roots from a single leaf. Put them somewhere as sunny as the spot where the mama plant lives and you will start to see the roots/baby leaves in a few weeks. Then lay on soil surface so roots can get into the soil & start watering when dry.

There are so many plants that are so similar looking from an upright pic without background glare, I couldn't begin to even lean toward a genus from that pic.

Thanks! I can take another pic when I get home if that helps!
