AUG | Lapis Lazuli

Origin Story

The AUG | Lapis Lazuli, released on July 8, 2026, as part of The Arabesque Collection, features a custom paint job with a white, blue, and gold design. This aesthetic is specifically crafted to resemble lapis lazuli, a semi-precious stone known for its intense deep-blue coloration. The Gunsmith finish style allows for a detailed, custom-designed appearance rather than a simple solid color. Its flavor text describes it as "An exquisite piece, both powerful and fragile."

Drop Chance

AUG | Lapis Lazuli is Restricted, a Purple-tier skin in the upper half of the rarity ladder. It can drop as an end-of-match reward from active competitive play on the Arabesque Collection item pool. Map drops follow a weighted rarity system that heavily favors common grades, so Restricted drops are uncommon and Valve doesn't publish per-skin odds. There are 2 other Restricted skins in the collection competing for the same drop slot. Most copies enter the market through trade-up contracts or direct purchase at a listed seller's price.

Skin Condition

Float range 0 to 1. Exteriors: Factory New, Minimal Wear, Field-Tested, Well-Worn, Battle-Scarred. StatTrak is not available for this skin.

• Factory New ($19.29): The blue, white, and gold design elements are fully intact with maximum color saturation and no visible scratches, presenting the premium look for this Gunsmith finish.
• Minimal Wear (No Recent Price): Minor edge wear may appear on high-contact areas like the foregrip, but the primary lapis lazuli motif remains crisp and vibrant.
• Field-Tested ($3.79): Noticeable chipping on edges and light fading of the blue sections begin to appear, particularly on the barrel and stock, though the overall design is still clearly recognizable.
• Well-Worn ($2.60): Substantial wear is present, with larger areas of the blue and white coating dulling or chipping along the weapon's edges, potentially exposing more base material.
• Battle-Scarred ($2.25): Heavy, pervasive wear covers the skin, with extensive scratching and chipping that significantly degrade the lapis lazuli pattern, making the design less distinct.

Model
