Of course! You can use them however you like, whether that be for rolling critical hits at your table, or just displaying them somewhere safe. If you do roll them, I suggest you use a leather or felt lined dice tray, and roll them away from other dice. In my experience, it’s not the stone dice that chip themselves, it’s the other dice they’re with that chip them. If you’re careful, and take good care of them, they will last you years and years.

Almost all of my stone dice are sourced here in Utah, hand picked by my friends, family, and myself. The gemstone rough I use that isn’t natural to Utah is purchased from local dealers and through trade shows and conventions. There are a few shows in Utah every year, and some major shows in Tuscon that are absolutely worth visiting.

Commissions are currently closed, but dice will still pop up in the shop as they are completed. If you’re interested in a custom die, or want to be notified when commissions open, sign up for our email list and be the the first to know!

I have in the past! However, making a full set of dice out of the same gems/stones comes with a whole new suite of challenges that make the process difficult and time consuming. The first major hurdle is sourcing enough of the same type and style of stone to make a whole set, which can be difficult to ensure. Additionally, cutting seven dice takes seven times as long. This is fine, but when each die takes upwards of 40+ hours to cut and polish, this means a single full set of dice can take upwards of a month and a half to make. This also pushes the price out of many peoples affordable range. I may make more full sets in the future, but for now I'll be sticking mostly to just D20's.

The size of the dice can change from piece to piece, most dice falling within the 20-24mm face-to-face range. Each stone is carefully chosen to ensure the most yield possible - this means some dice can come out much larger than a standard D20, and some a bit smaller, depending on the size of the rough stone. Each is hand cut, so differences in size are just part of the process.

It's tough to say without individual testing. Stones are naturally formed, so varying densities throughout are not uncommon. Most common plastic/resin dice are balanced tested with the saltwater method - placing a dice in a glass of salt water then spinning it several times and recording the results. However, this method doesn't work with stone dice since they're more dense than water and just sink to the bottom of the glass. It's important that if you take these dice to your table, you speak to your DM first to ensure they're alright with you using them.

Certain gemstones can be slightly more delicate than others. If you're worried about chipping, I'd recommend starting with tougher stones like quartz varieties (amethyst, rose quartz, etc.) or cubic zirconia. I'm always happy to advise you on the best materials for your needs!

Soft stones should be cleaned with damp microfiber cloth or paper towel. Avoid submerging them in water as some stones will absorb it. Hard stones can often be rinsed with warm water and a mild, non-abrasive dish soap. Dry thoroughly with a soft cloth. Glass cleaner like Windex can be used to help remove fingerprints and oils and help bring back a clear shine. When not in use, keep your gemstone dice in a soft pouch or lined box, separate from your other dice - chips and scratches are often the result of being kept and rolled with other dice.

Each die is handcrafted with the utmost care. If there are any defects with the craftsmanship itself, contact me with some photos of the damage, and we will discuss replacements or repairs on a case-by-case basis. Please note that normal wear and tear, scratches, or chips due to use, handing, and storage won't be covered.
