Visual Description
Stone Scales (Foil) features a pattern of engraved reptilian or draconic scales set against a textured stone-like background. The foil layer adds shifting metallic highlights that run along the raised scale edges, creating the illusion of ancient armor infused with mystical energy. Its cool grey, silver, and faint teal reflections make it visually striking on darker skins.
History and Origin
This sticker debuted in a collection inspired by mythological beasts, ancient stone carvings, and elemental motifs. The designer blended fantasy and realism by pairing stone textures with foil shimmer, giving the scales an enchanted-metal appearance.
Popularity and Usage

It also pairs well with knives and skins featuring metallic or stone-like finishes. Collectors value the sticker for its unique combination of foil brightness and carved-texture design.
Price Formation Factors
Value is shaped by foil reflectivity, capsule scarcity, interest in fantasy-themed cosmetics, and the sticker’s compatibility with many dark weapon skins. Foil treatments that maintain crisp shine typically attract higher demand.
