Why are Blue Gems rare and expensive?
Blue gem patterns are a rarity, as most case hardened skins typically feature a blend of purples and gold with just a hint of blue. But occasionally, a pattern emerges that is predominantly, or even entirely, blue. These unique skins are highly coveted. Every case hardened skin has a pattern seed that’s considered the cream of the crop.
For the Skeleton Knife, the premier paint seed is number 456. Given that this is just one among a thousand possible seeds, and considering the high demand among discerning collectors, it’s no wonder that the finest blue gems are priced significantly higher — sometimes ten to a hundred times more — than the standard rate for a regular case hardened version.
What is a backside blue gem?
In Counter-Strike 2, each knife has two distinct sides: the play side and the backside. The play side is the star of the show, being the side that’s visible during gameplay. The backside, meanwhile, gets its moment in the spotlight when you inspect the item in-game. The allure of blue gems is so strong that even the backside blue gems are considered treasures, but not quite at the level of those adorning the play side.
Our guide specifically notes paint seeds with ‘(backside)’ to highlight those unique cases where the blue gem is found exclusively on the backside. This implies that the play side will not be as visually captivating.
