Hello madiblue, to me it looks like the plant got overwatered at some point then got too heated and dried out. What is the condition of the plants center part? That is where the new leaf growth will come. In your photo, I seem to see it is still quite healthy green color, so there is still hope for your plant.
In my area, my gasterias prefer to be in part sun/shade, and are more actively growing during Spring and early Fall. Our summers are so dry and hot, and gasterias hate that, so it goes in a semi-dormant phase, till it cools down again.
