What the Dual Berettas | Cobalt Quartz looks like in Factory New

Both pistols are painted a deep cobalt blue. The slides and frames are cut by light facets: a mesh of light blue and whitish breaks resembles cracks in a crystal. The lines form polygonal shards, and a white glint lies along the edges in places.

The blue covers the slides, frames and grip panels. Barrels, hammers, the undersides of the trigger guards and the front sights stay light polished metal. A tiny violet dot is visible on the top of one barrel.

In Factory New the surface is glossy and intact, with no signs of use. Wear is set at drop, so the gloss on the dualies stays as it is forever.

Where the Dual Berettas | Cobalt Quartz came from

The Lake collection is where this skin sits. Judging by the collection data, it entered the game in November 2013. Valve's description says the skin is applied with metallic paint and uses a crystallizing mask.
