Wow... The only chance for that lens to be MINT is if the dots are sprayed on with mint cream aka "After Eight". I've never seen a lens with element separation, so I wouldn't know the difference, but there are fungi with growing patterns like that too.
Anyways, it's certainly a full refund case! Hope you get your money back, Peter.
