Were the Compensation Map Crystals different from the Regulars?

Something a little odd I just noticed, my second account has 2 Versions of Map 5 Crystals after claiming the Compensation yesterday.
Hard to tell in my blurry image but the Regular Ones we get from AQ (on the Bottom) have a couple Sparkles and Highlight on the Image, the ones from the Compensation have Darker Image with no Sparkles, as far as I can tell there's no other difference and it's not a big deal just a tad odd.

    Ah yes, I’m pretty sure I see one white pixel on the top image where a blue pixel is on the bottom. Nice catch! (These are probably specifically marked crystals or something that Kabam can just send out)

    Yeah it's probably the same Crystal just the ones automatically sent out aren't used to avoid a bug or something.

    Here's a slightly better image, I'm curious if the other Map Crystals had the same Duplicates...

    Hmm. Very interesting. I did some research, and it seems like the crystals did indeed change at some point.





    The top one is a screenshot I just took right now from my inventory, and the bottom one is from a YouTube video I found posted 2 years ago. It really highlights the difference between what graphics were used in both iterations.

    My theory is that perhaps they had a large amount of the old crystals still stored in a warehouse and so they may be using this opportunity to shift old stock? Just a theory.

    Let me know your guys thoughts in the comments below.

    Yeah these are some Vintage Aged Map Crystals, they gave out the Premium Stuff 👌
