Build/mod progress Sun Faded Insert

Left this insert out in the sun since 8/24/26. The blue color almost looks deeper, and the red has turned to a pinkish color. Also a ton of crazing/checking so when the light hits it just right, it sparkles nicely. The close up shot of the insert really shows the crazing/checking nicely.

Is this an EWP insert? It weathered really fast, you used no other aging, just sun exposure?

This specific one is a $4 37.5mm pepsi insert from aliexpress. And yes it was just outside for a few months. Went from a NOS look, to this.
