pretty much title. when i look at my collection of shards a few of them have a little circle icon in the bottom left corner that appears to have a little ward icon in it. i have been trying to figure out the meaning of this little icon, there seems to be nothing posted about it and i cant find any correlation.

Short answer - Means its a Legacy skin

The colored gems are not what he's referring to - he is in fact talking about the brown one with the ward looking imprint on the left hand side. It means its a legacy skin - if you notice they no longer say "Legacy Skin Shard" on ones that are obviously Legacy , but instead they have the brown mark now.

It seems related to whether it is a shard or a permanent.

It means the item in question is Legacy. Things you can't currently buy from the shop.

Thanks for the reply, but I believe the question was in regards to small circular icons displayed in the bottom left of skin shards.

it doesnt appear to be colored gems as stated in patch notes, they look like little wards.
