The best AK-47 | Aphrodite patterns are the Pink Gem and Purple Gem seeds: their metal parts turn pink or purple with a pearlescent sheen, while the wood stays clean and pastel. Gold Gem and Bronze Gem follow below them, and the look of every copy is set by its pattern index from 0 to 1000. This guide gives you the full AK-47 Aphrodite pattern tier list for all four gem groups with index numbers, plus how to pick a copy and what the skin costs in each wear.
What Makes the AK-47 Aphrodite Special
The AK-47 Aphrodite arrived in CS2 in January 2026, alongside the start of Premier Season Four, as a limited item from the Armory. It does not drop from cases or weekly drops; in the Armory it was exchanged for 125 stars earned with the Armory Pass. It is one of the few new AK-47 finishes of recent years, and it quickly became one of the most talked-about skins in the game. A similar wave followed the Desert Eagle | Heat Treated, when players rushed to check what pattern they had received.
The skin pairs pastel wooden parts with metal tones ranging from dull bronze to vivid rose gold. The color scheme depends entirely on the pattern index: you can get an antique-looking bronze copy with faded wood, or something far more striking with clean pastel whites and a pink pearlescent body. The more vibrant and clean the palette, the more valuable the pattern. That is why the top seeds were given the familiar collector names "Purple Gem" and "Pink Gem," followed by "Gold Gem" and "Bronze Gem." Within each group we split the seeds into tiers: the highest is reserved for the cleanest and most vibrant patterns, the lowest for those with the most wear and discoloration. For the mechanics behind it, see what the pattern index affects.
The AK-47 Aphrodite Pattern Tier List
Every Aphrodite has a pattern index from 0 to 1000 that determines its appearance and color distribution. The wooden parts (buttstock, handguard and pistol grip) keep pastel colors with slight variation, from beige to light blue. What really matters is the metal body, which can come out pink, purple, gold, bronze or grayish.
Pink and purple seeds are far scarcer than gold and bronze ones: our list has 74 Pink Gem and 34 Purple Gem indexes against hundreds of gold and bronze ones. That scarcity is what makes them the most sought-after copies.

How to Choose an AK-47 Aphrodite: Pattern, Wear and Price
Two independent factors drive the Aphrodite's price: the pattern index and the wear. The pattern sets the metal color, while the float decides how much scratching sits on top of it. This skin's float range runs from 0 to 1, so it exists in all five wears, from Factory New to Battle-Scarred. Wear is fixed when the item is created and does not change over time; our guide to skin wear and float in CS2 explains the scale.
| Wear | Price on LIS-SKINS |
|---|---|
| Factory New | around $260 |
| Minimal Wear | around $25 |
| Field-Tested | around $15 |
| Well-Worn | around $10 |
| Battle-Scarred | around $9 |
The gap between Factory New and everything else is huge: a Factory New copy costs roughly ten times as much as a Minimal Wear Aphrodite. Souvenir versions also show up on the market and cost noticeably more than regular ones, from about $55 in the lowest wear to around $410 in Factory New. These are base prices that ignore the pattern; sellers usually ask considerably more for top-tier Pink Gem and Purple Gem seeds.
For a collection: a tier 1 Pink Gem or Purple Gem in Factory New, where the clean metal color shows best.
Best balance: a tier 1 Gold Gem, or any gem in Minimal Wear.
Cheapest entry: a Field-Tested Aphrodite or lower with a bronze pattern, if you want the skin itself rather than a rare color.
Before buying, check the pattern index in the item details and compare it with the tables above. To see how the Aphrodite stacks up against other AK options, check our AK-47 skins tier list for CS2 or the AK-47 Case Hardened pattern guide, where pattern premiums run even higher.
FAQ
What is the best AK-47 Aphrodite pattern?
Tier 1 Pink Gem and Purple Gem seeds are the most valuable, for example indexes 820, 158, 441 (Pink Gem) and 16, 69, 96 (Purple Gem). They show the cleanest, most vivid pink or purple metal without blotches.
What is the difference between Pink Gem and Purple Gem?
Only the shade of the metal parts: pink on a Pink Gem, purple on a Purple Gem. Both groups are rare and rank above Gold Gem and Bronze Gem.
Does wear affect an Aphrodite pattern?
The pattern index sets the color, and the float adds scratches on top of it. The same gem therefore looks much cleaner in Factory New than in Battle-Scarred.
How do you get the AK-47 Aphrodite?
It was only available through the Armory for 125 stars and does not drop from cases. The easiest way to get a copy with a specific pattern and wear is to buy it on the market after checking the index against the tier list.
