Fading color on green crystal?

Any early owners experiencing this? I've seen a report on this on another forum (and having recently acquired a GV) - thought I'd ask the forum. I've also heard of cracking problems too for the first series... all apparently solved in the new deliveries.

bogus claims - the green color in the crystal comes from the copper used in the manufacturing process. metals like copper rarely fade.

Turns more green due to time. Just like the statue of liberty.
