MAG-7 | Petroglyph (Minimal Wear)

The MAG-7 | Petroglyph (Minimal Wear) is a Restricted shotgun skin whose paint mimics an ancient rock carving across the body. Minimal Wear keeps the etched artwork looking almost untouched while sitting a notch below the top grade in price.

Design

The whole shotgun is styled like a slab of carved stone — the finish is painted to create the illusion of a rock carving, giving it a historical, hand-etched feel. Community artist PTP designed it, and it carries a fitting in-game line: "Conflict existed since the first caveman learned how to pick up a rock."

MAG-7 | Petroglyph (Minimal Wear) Float and Wear

With the finish's float running 0.00 to 0.44, Minimal Wear copies sit just above the Factory New band. Any wear here is faint and mostly confined to raised edges, so the carved lines still read clearly across the shell. For most buyers it looks nearly identical to the top grade at a friendlier price.

MAG-7 | Petroglyph Rarity

Rarity: Restricted. That's the pink grade, a few rungs beneath Covert on the standard weapon ladder — uncommon to unbox, but not among the rarest tiers.

MAG-7 | Petroglyph Case and Collection

Part of The Gamma 2 Collection, this finish comes out of the Gamma 2 Case that launched in August 2016. Across the case the Restricted tier pulls at roughly 16% (the figure is shared among the tier's skins), and with the case retired from the active drop pool, supply is fixed — the market is where most copies come from now.

MAG-7 | Petroglyph Patterns

There's no random pattern variation on this finish. The carved artwork is placed the same on every copy, which means no paint seed or "blue gem" is worth tracking down — wear and float are the only things that tell two of them apart.

StatTrak & Souvenir

You can also find a StatTrak edition, minted from the Gamma 2 Case, that tacks a confirmed-kill counter onto the shell; it drops more rarely and costs more, and the counter is permanent — it never gets wiped through trades or sales. No Souvenir version was ever made, since those come strictly from Major-tournament packages and this finish never appeared in one.

MAG-7 | Petroglyph Price

Minimal Wear lands just below Factory New on the finish's price ladder while looking very close to it — a smart value pick that keeps the skin in affordable mid-tier range for a MAG-7. It's available to buy on Skin.Land with instant delivery and no hidden fees.

FAQ

Is Minimal Wear a better buy than Factory New here?

For most players, yes. The carved stone artwork already reads sharp at Minimal Wear, with wear limited to faint touches on raised edges, so it looks close to Factory New for noticeably less. Pay up for Factory New only if you specifically want the top grade on the shelf.

How worn does Minimal Wear look?

Barely worn at all. Any scuffing is faint and sits on the raised edges rather than across the etched artwork, so the rock-carving illusion stays intact. From a normal viewing distance it's tough to tell a Minimal Wear copy from a Factory New one at a glance.

Is the Petroglyph a MAG-7 or a knife skin?

It's a MAG-7 shotgun finish, a standard weapon rather than a knife or gloves, so there's no star in its name and no special-item price tag. That keeps it in affordable mid-tier territory — a characterful shotgun skin instead of a high-end inventory centerpiece.
