CZ75-Auto | Emerald Quartz (Battle-Scarred)

Battle-Scarred is the roughest and cheapest condition for the CZ75-Auto | Emerald Quartz, a Mil-Spec pistol finish known for its bold green metallic paint. It's the entry point for players who want the design without paying for a clean surface.

Design

The Emerald Quartz is built from green metallic paint laid down with a crystallizing mask, per Valve's own description — a faceted rather than flat finish. Valve designed it, and it comes with a flavor line that fits its striking color: "Everyone wants to make an impact."

CZ75-Auto | Emerald Quartz (Battle-Scarred) Float and Wear

Battle-Scarred sits at the top of the finish's 0.00–0.70 float range, its ceiling, and shows the heaviest wear the Emerald Quartz reaches — noticeable scuffing and dulled facets across the slide and frame. Because the finish is capped at 0.70 rather than the full 1.0, this worst grade still stays milder than a Battle-Scarred copy of a skin with an uncapped float.

CZ75-Auto | Emerald Quartz Rarity

The rarity is Mil-Spec Grade, the blue tier sitting below Restricted, Classified, and Covert — one of the more common grades to find on this pistol.

CZ75-Auto | Emerald Quartz Case and Collection

This finish comes from The Norse Collection, tied to Operation Shattered Web's November 2019 release. No weapon case was ever associated with the collection, so copies came from operation collection drops rather than unboxing, and today the market is the main way to pick one up.

CZ75-Auto | Emerald Quartz Patterns

Since the crystallizing mask pattern is fixed across every copy, there's no seed number, fade, or "blue gem" version of the Emerald Quartz to look for — wear and float remain the only differences between copies, even at this roughest grade.

StatTrak & Souvenir

This is a regular-only finish, with no StatTrak counter and no Souvenir tag ever produced for it. Souvenir status is reserved for Major-tournament packages, and the Emerald Quartz was never distributed through one, so both variants are simply absent by design, not by omission.

CZ75-Auto | Emerald Quartz Price

Battle-Scarred is the cheapest way onto the Emerald Quartz ladder, sitting below every other grade even though the finish as a whole carries a high-end, grail-tier reputation. It's the budget route into a design that otherwise runs pricey. It's available to buy on Skin.Land with instant delivery and no hidden fees.

FAQ

Why isn't Battle-Scarred fully trashed-looking on this skin?

Because the Emerald Quartz is float-capped at 0.70 instead of the full 1.0 scale, its worst grade never reaches the most extreme wear possible in the game. Expect heavy scuffing and dulled facets, but not the total paint breakdown seen on uncapped skins at this same grade.

Is Battle-Scarred the best budget option for this skin?

Yes, it's the cheapest grade available on the Emerald Quartz, undercutting Well-Worn and Field-Tested. It's the right pick if getting the green metallic design at the lowest possible price matters more than surface condition.

Does Battle-Scarred still show the crystallizing mask clearly?

Mostly, yes — the pattern itself is fixed and unaffected by wear, though heavy scuffing at this grade does dull some of the facet detail. The overall green color and mask layout remain recognizable despite the surface damage.
