MAC-10 | Malachite (Minimal Wear)

The MAC-10 | Malachite (Minimal Wear) shows the same metallic wavy pattern found across this Restricted SMG finish. Minimal Wear is the second-cleanest grade, just below Factory New in condition.

Design

Metallic paint dragged through a rubber comb tool creates rolling wave lines across the whole body, a technique from community artist Nannou. Its flavor text plays on the contrast between look and function: "Bright colors hide a gun with a dark purpose."

MAC-10 | Malachite (Minimal Wear) Float and Wear

Within the 0.00–0.50 float band, Minimal Wear sits just above the floor. The metallic sheen still reads bright at this grade, with only the faintest texture visible on close inspection of the wave pattern.

MAC-10 | Malachite Rarity

This finish carries Restricted rarity, the purple tier that sits one step above Mil-Spec among the standard weapon grades.

MAC-10 | Malachite Case and Collection

Malachite comes from The Chroma Collection via the Chroma Case, released back in January 2015. Restricted-tier pulls land around 16% of the time from that case, a rate the tier shares across all its skins.

MAC-10 | Malachite Patterns

No pattern variation applies here — the wave layout is identical across every copy, so there's no seed number or rare "gem" version worth chasing. Only wear and float differ between copies.

StatTrak & Souvenir

There's a StatTrak™ version of Malachite that tracks confirmed kills permanently, sourced from the same Chroma Case as the standard finish. No Souvenir edition exists, since that tag comes only from Major-tournament packages, which this skin was never part of.

MAC-10 | Malachite Price

Minimal Wear sits just under Factory New on the price ladder, a small discount for a nearly identical look, and the finish overall stays at a premium price point. It's available to buy on Skin.Land with instant delivery and no hidden fees.

FAQ

How different does Minimal Wear look from Factory New?

Very little — the metallic waves still look sharp and reflective, so Minimal Wear reads almost identically at a glance while typically costing somewhat less than the top grade.

Is there a StatTrak Minimal Wear Malachite?

Yes, StatTrak Malachite spans the same wear range as the regular finish, including Minimal Wear, and it carries the usual market premium for the permanent counter.

Is Minimal Wear a good value grade here?

Yes, for buyers who want nearly the Factory New look without paying the very top price. The wave pattern hides light texture well, so the visual gap between the two grades is small.
