AUG | Carved Jade (Minimal Wear)

The AUG | Carved Jade (Minimal Wear) keeps the same jade-green anodized shine over a chrome base as the top grade, in a Mil-Spec rifle finish that's easy on the wallet. Minimal Wear holds nearly all of that gloss for a bit less than Factory New.

Design

The AUG gets a chrome base coat here, candied over in a transparent jade-green anodized layer that gives it a glassy, faceted look. This is a Valve design, carrying the flavor line "The finest of the finer things," which suits the polished, gem-like finish well.

AUG | Carved Jade (Minimal Wear) Float and Wear

Because this finish is capped at a 0.20 float overall, Minimal Wear still lands well within a tight, low-wear band. The jade coating stays richly saturated and the chrome base underneath still reads clearly, with only the most minor handling marks visible up close if any.

AUG | Carved Jade Rarity

Rarity: Mil-Spec Grade, the blue tier that makes up the most common rarity among standard weapon skins. It's a widely available color rather than a rare pull.

AUG | Carved Jade Case and Collection

This finish comes from The Ancient Collection, released with Operation Broken Fang in December 2020. There's no case tied to it — Mil-Spec skins like this one are the collection's bread-and-butter drop, so supply has always been generous relative to the collection's scarcer finishes.

AUG | Carved Jade Patterns

No seed-based variation exists on this finish — the anodized coating covers the AUG the same way on every unit, so there's no rare pattern layout worth hunting for. Wear grade is what actually changes the appearance here.

StatTrak & Souvenir

StatTrak isn't offered on this finish. A Souvenir edition is, however, first appearing in the Stockholm 2021 Ancient Souvenir Package before showing up in further Major packages tied to the same collection over the following years.

AUG | Carved Jade Price

Minimal Wear sits just under Factory New on the price ladder, giving up a sliver of shine for a small savings. It's still a premium finish for a Mil-Spec skin, just not the absolute top grade. It's available to buy on Skin.Land with instant delivery and no hidden fees.

FAQ

How close is Minimal Wear to Factory New on this finish?

Very close. With the whole float range capped at 0.20, Minimal Wear still shows a deep, glossy jade coating with barely any visible difference from Factory New at normal viewing distance — a solid pick if you want to save a little without sacrificing much looks.

Why is Carved Jade a Mil-Spec skin at a premium price?

Rarity and price don't always move together. Mil-Spec just describes how common the drop is, not how it looks or sells — the anodized jade effect is popular enough that it holds a premium price despite being an easy pull from the collection.

Is there a StatTrak Carved Jade?

No, StatTrak was never made for this finish. The only alternate version is Souvenir, sourced from Major-tournament packages tied to The Ancient Collection rather than from any case-based drop.
