M4A1-S | Moss Quartz (Factory New)

The M4A1-S | Moss Quartz (Factory New) is an Industrial Grade rifle skin — dark green metallic paint laid over a crystallizing mask that grows the finish's quartz-like pattern. Factory New is the top grade, showing the crystalline detail at its most legible.

Design

Moss Quartz is built from dark green metallic paint applied over a crystallizing mask, which is what forms the skin's veined, mineral-like pattern. Designed by Valve, it leans on a natural, understated aesthetic rather than loud graphics, and it carries a fitting in-game line: "Everyone wants to make an impact."

M4A1-S | Moss Quartz (Factory New) Float and Wear

Across the whole skin the float runs 0.00–0.50, and Factory New covers roughly 0.00–0.07 at the very top of that range. Here the metallic green reads deep and saturated and the crystallized veining stays fully defined, with no scuffing to break up the surface. If you want the mineral pattern showing every facet, this is the grade to reach for.

M4A1-S | Moss Quartz Rarity

Rarity: Industrial Grade — the light-blue tier, sitting low on the standard weapon-grade ladder. That keeps it approachable rather than a rare high-tier pull.

M4A1-S | Moss Quartz Case and Collection

Moss Quartz belongs to The Norse Collection, introduced with Operation Shattered Web in November 2019. The collection arrived as part of that operation rather than a standalone weapon case, so copies are picked up on the market instead of routinely unboxed.

M4A1-S | Moss Quartz Patterns

The crystallizing mask means the veined pattern can fall a little differently from one copy to the next, so no two are laid out quite the same. There's no ranked paint-seed or phase system to chase here, though — wear and that natural crystalline spread are what set copies apart.

StatTrak & Souvenir

There is no StatTrak version of this skin — StatTrak weapons are seeded through weapon cases, and Moss Quartz is a collection finish that isn't distributed that way, so no kill-counter variant exists. There's no Souvenir edition either, since Souvenir weapons come only from Major-tournament packages, and The Norse Collection has never been a Major drop.

M4A1-S | Moss Quartz Price

Factory New sits at the top of the Moss Quartz price ladder as the cleanest grade on offer, a clear step above Minimal Wear. It's a premium pick among its peer finishes while staying well short of grail territory. It's available to buy on Skin.Land with instant delivery and no hidden fees.

FAQ

Is Factory New worth it over Minimal Wear?

If you want the crystalline pattern at its sharpest and the green at its richest, yes — Factory New is the top grade with no surface scuffing. That said, the dark base hides light wear well, so Minimal Wear looks nearly the same for less. Pay up for the best condition; otherwise Minimal Wear is the smarter value.

Which gloves go with Moss Quartz?

Its dark-green, earthy palette suits a natural loadout, so green or olive gloves are the obvious match, while black or gunmetal wraps keep things muted and let the mineral pattern carry the look. Anything with a cool, stony tone plays nicely with the quartz veining.

Who designed Moss Quartz?

Valve did. It's an in-house finish rather than a community submission, with a natural, understated design that blends dark green metallic paint with a crystallizing mask to build its quartz-like texture — a quieter aesthetic than many flashier M4A1-S skins.
