Youtube was recommending this video to me for a couple of days and I kept ignoring it... but just now I decided to check it out and WOW, this is fucking amazing! :love:

Any jewelers here? Unless it’s lab made, I’m very skeptical that the apparent density of any natural stone is consistent enough to make an unweighted die.

Otoh the “fancy” d20 that has a preference for 1s would be kinda funny

I didn't watch the video, but it looks very interesting, and I'm wondering how much, if any, all those added vortices (present in the picture, above) affect the actual results of rolling that die/those dice. You also have to wonder about the precision of the cutting and the grinding and polishing, etc., when it comes to the die's accuracy as well.

Edit: I missed agris' comment at the end of his post, so excuse me. He and I are clearly on the same page.

Steve gets a Kidney but I don't even get a tag.
Obviously, dice made from human bones are the way to go.

Over the years we have crafted dice from innumerable materials, one we’re most famous for is our Necromancer’s Line of Dice crafted from various animal bones and horns. Taking that to the next level, these macabre D20 are crafted from human bones sourced from retired skeletons once used in medical universities.
