XM's portrayal is the most accurate, scientifically, imo. Artistically, I think both clear and bluish/frosty
can look cool.
The biggest problem with crystal clear is that the features and sculpt can get lost. Much harder to discern details.
Clear may be problematic from a casting perspective too. Bubbles, imperfections, etc., could be more noticeable. And unless it's cast in one piece (unlikely), joints could be visible.
