Negev | Raw Ceramic (Factory New)

The Negev | Raw Ceramic (Factory New) is a Consumer Grade machine gun skin — a solid tan finish with a coarse, unpolished surface. Factory New is the cleanest grade it comes in, showing the pale tan coat at its most even and free of wear.

Design

Raw Ceramic keeps things minimal: a solid tan coat across the whole Negev, with a raw, industrial texture rather than any graphic or pattern. It's a Valve-made finish, and it carries the terse in-game line "Restore by force."

Negev | Raw Ceramic (Factory New) Float and Wear

Float on this finish runs from 0.00 to 0.75, and Factory New sits at the very bottom of that band, under 0.07. At this grade the tan coat looks even and uniform with no scuffing anywhere, the tidiest a plain solid-color finish like this can get. It's the grade to pick if you want the surface unblemished.

Negev | Raw Ceramic Rarity

Rarity: Consumer Grade — the white tier at the very bottom of the standard weapon grades, the most common rarity in the game.

Negev | Raw Ceramic Case and Collection

Raw Ceramic is part of The Boreal Collection, introduced with the Spring Forward update in March 2025. As a Consumer Grade skin it's among the most frequent drops in the set, so copies are abundant and inexpensive on the market.

Negev | Raw Ceramic Patterns

The finish is fixed — being a solid tan color, there's no pattern to vary, so no paint seed or "blue gem" to hunt at all. Wear and float are the only things separating one copy from another.

StatTrak & Souvenir

There's no StatTrak version of this finish — StatTrak counters are minted only from weapon cases, and Raw Ceramic comes from a collection instead. It has no Souvenir version either, since Souvenir weapons are produced solely through Major-tournament packages and The Boreal Collection was never offered in one.

Negev | Raw Ceramic Price

Factory New sits at the top of this finish's price ladder, though as a Consumer Grade skin even the cleanest grade is firmly budget-priced. It's the priciest way to own it, but the finish is one of the cheapest around. Available to buy on Skin.Land with instant delivery and no hidden fees.

FAQ

Is a Factory New Raw Ceramic worth it?

For a plain, budget finish, Factory New is the grade where the solid tan looks most even, with no scuffing to break it up. Since the skin is cheap at every grade, the top grade costs very little extra, so it's an easy pick if you want an unblemished surface without spending much at all.

Which gloves go with Raw Ceramic?

Its solid tan base pairs naturally with earthy, desert-toned gloves — tan, sand, or brown wraps blend seamlessly for a cohesive, utilitarian loadout. Because the finish is so understated, muted gloves suit it better than anything loud; the goal is a grounded, military look rather than a bold contrast.

Does the paint seed matter on Raw Ceramic?

No. It's a solid tan color with no pattern at all, so the paint-seed index changes nothing — every copy looks the same regardless of seed. There's no rare variant or "blue gem" to chase here; the only real differences between copies are the wear grade and the exact float.
