Izredno lep kaktus saj mu telo pokrivajo bele dlačice in dajejo videz skoraj čisto belega kaktusa. Zraste do 4 cm v višino in do 2,5 cm v širino. Je počasi rastoča vrsta. Cvet ima 2 cm premera in je rdeče-vijolične barve, včasih je cvetni listič obrobljen z belo barvo. Cveti spomladi. Obstaja tudi varieteta, ki ima bel cvet (Pelecyphora valdeziana var. alba). Naravno rastišče je v Mehiki v zveznih državah San Luis Potosi in Coahuila. Pozimi lahko rastlina zdrži minimalno temperaturo 6°C vendar mora biti zemlja popolnoma suha. Odličen kaktus za vse, ki nimate veliko prostora.
