Tec-9 | Cracked Opal (Field-Tested)

The Tec-9 | Cracked Opal (Field-Tested) carries its hand-painted, cracked-wood look with an opal glow at the game's most common condition tier. It balances a fair bit of visible detail against a lower price than the cleaner grades.

Design

The finish is hand painted to resemble cracked, ancient wood with an underlying opal, exactly as Valve describes it, mixing a weathered surface with a colorful glow beneath. Designed by the community artist bee, it comes with the flavor text "Doubles as a mood ring."

Tec-9 | Cracked Opal (Field-Tested) Float and Wear

Float runs the complete 0.00–1.00 range on this finish, and Field-Tested lands roughly in the middle. The wood cracking looks a touch heavier here and the opal glow dims slightly, but the overall design stays easy to read at typical in-game distances.

Tec-9 | Cracked Opal Rarity

Classification places this at Mil-Spec Grade, the blue and most common tier on the standard weapon rarity scale — common by grade, though still a recognizable and liked finish.

Tec-9 | Cracked Opal Case and Collection

This finish is drawn from The Spectrum 2 Collection, sourced from the Spectrum 2 Case that arrived in September 2017. Mil-Spec tier drops from that case sit at around 79.92% odds as a group, making Cracked Opal a fairly easy pull.

Tec-9 | Cracked Opal Patterns

There's no random pattern variation to speak of — the cracked-wood texture and opal glow are placed identically on every copy, so no paint seed or blue-gem tier exists to chase. Wear and float alone set copies apart.

StatTrak & Souvenir

The Spectrum 2 Case also produces a StatTrak™ version of this finish, adding a permanent kill counter that carries through trades and sales. A Souvenir version was never made, since Souvenir items only come from Major-tournament packages and this collection has never been one.

Tec-9 | Cracked Opal Price

Field-Tested drops a step below Minimal Wear on the price ladder while keeping the design clearly visible. It remains a comfortably budget-priced pick in the Tec-9 lineup. It's available to buy on Skin.Land with instant delivery and no hidden fees.

FAQ

How much does wear affect the opal glow at Field-Tested?

Only mildly. The glow dims a touch compared to the cleaner grades and the wood cracking looks a bit heavier, but the finish's overall look stays clearly recognizable and the mood-ring effect is still visible.

Is Field-Tested the best budget choice?

It's a reasonable middle ground, though since this finish is already inexpensive at every grade, the savings versus Minimal Wear are small. Well-Worn and Battle-Scarred go a bit lower still if price is the only factor.

Does the Tec-9 | Cracked Opal have a Souvenir version?

No. Souvenir items only come from Major-tournament packages, and The Spectrum 2 Collection has never been distributed that way, so this finish exists only as a regular version and a StatTrak version.
