Carving the Sparkliest D20 Ever

i like that he doesn't hide any of the imperfections at the end. you can see the faces with 6, 4, and 18 have imperfections on the numbers and on the faces numbered 15 and 7 you can see imperfections on the dice itself. gives it some character and lets you know it's not some perfect 3D printed object made out of perfectly consistent materials. a person made it out of a stone. cool that it doesn't look perfect.

i gotta say dude, this d20 is absolutely stunning, and i can hardly believe that topaz could be so clear and sparkly. i don't know the first thing about gemcraft, but i can still appreciate how much precision and effort must go into making these works of art,

[@LPMinifridge]

Fun fact! Topaz is naturally quite clear like this. The many varieties of colored topaz we see in stores is induced using chemical/biological reactions. One of the most common is to irradiate the stones, (This is why if you were to take a Geiger counter into a jewelry store, any colored topaz would register as having a very minimal radiation signal.)

[@conan4real]

its actually called faceting! not gemcraft, although that name is very cute

[@michaelsorensen7567]

There's a rare black topaz that my local rock shop sells. Tons of possibility. I think for colored Topaz, sun exposure can reduce color vibrancy, but not sure

[@mwater_moon2865]

From ancient times to the Middle Ages, the name topaz was used to refer to any yellow gemstone. And Topaz as a silicate mineral of aluminium and fluorine is often a yellow (Nov. Birthstone) or light blue (Dec birthstone) based on which impurities are present when it's forming. But it's popular to heat treat it to emphasize the color and develop it to a more golden yellow, blues are usually enhanced by using irradiation and heat treating. While it CAN naturally be pink or red, that's VERY rare and most Topazes those colors are a result of heat treating. When Topaz has a reddish, orangeish, or pinkish hue it's referred to as "Imperial Topaz", the pinkish tones in some stones are prone to fading in prolonged, bright sunlight. Or, and this is fairly common in mid to low end jewelry stores, they'll sell something called "Mystic Topaz" that's a clear Topaz that's been treated with metal vapor so it sparkles with greens/pinks/purples. This is often used to mimic Alexandrite. But since this is just a surface layer, it can be scratched off or damaged with cleaning, though it does look pretty while it lasts (you can google it.) But it's real trick is it's VERY dense, much denser than glass, it will happily sink when quartz or citrine (other clear to pale yellow stones) or aquamarine (pale blue beryl) is floating and depending on the specific stone, Topaz can have a higher SD than Diamond. It's also takes a much finer polish than quartz.

[@CalicoShadowPlusCat]

Funny but true factoid for which I can personally attest: this is related to the practice and process of flint knapping and also carved marble sculptures. Part of the process is in premeditation, probably a good deal of pencil sketches too in the case of the marble. The other part is pure practice. 10,000 hours is not that long coming and going, short version.

[@FunSkipping]

@@jamespfp The only reason people premeditate making marble or anything for that matter is because the materials aren't cheap. I am sure people would wing it more if materials didn't cost you an arm and a leg.

@@FunSkipping Well Sure, but again, in my opinion "winging it" amounts to Practice, whether there's been any amount of consideration on the form prior to starting, or not. Same goes for most performance art, ie. the human body of a performer is the cheap marble. (See also: Body Paint)
