PC: Pre-Searing Crystaline Sword

I've no idea if this is worth anything at all, or if it just looks pretty. I've heard it's good for running / 55 monks, etc, stuff like that, but we'll see. Here are the stats:

Long Sword (Crystaline Skin)
Slashing Dmg: 6-9
Armor +5 (While Casting)
Halves Casting time of Spells (chance 5%)

Thoughts?

1-3k...

Heh, that's the range I was expecting to get.

have seen these sell pretty well at 5-8k or so...
