@@hedronrockworksfull disclosure... Ive made fun of my brother for awhile for his d and d playing. I'm a amateur rockhound and know of turtles hoard from gemstonesdot vidoes. One of your vids you said you took up this hobby for lack of high end dice. Unfortunately I found this to be true as well. What I found was very low quality. Gem amethyst isn't expensive by any means. Yet the ones I found are made of trash rough thats sold by the pound and or stones way to soft and low quality. For high wear things like dice and let's say rings, watches, bracelets you want stones 7 mohs and higher. Preferably 7.5 and up. The reason is a lot of the general dust in the world is finely ground silica aka quartz which is 6.5 to 7 mohs. Ive got a co worker who's a nerd and is under payed and way under appreciated. A set of synthetic ruby die would be the ultimate gift. If you could find a way to make sets out of the material in the videos for under say 400 or 500 dollars I think you'd have plenty of customers. When their charging $40 to $120 for some resin die $500 for gemstone ones would be a bargain.

This is an awesome die! Tbh, I’m the kind or person who prefers to hear the artist explain the process vs just hearing music. What were the highs and lows, the struggles, the inspiration? Those things keep me coming back!

I've wanted a ruby or sapphire D20 for ages, and ever since I started watching your video, I thought about saving up to commission one. Eventually I did luck out and find a small sapphire one of okay quality, which I'm thrilled of even still.. But damn brother, you out-do yourself as a craftsman with every stone you premiere. I love the attention to detail, the design, the frosted edges are always absolutely gorgeous, and a great idea from Andrew to just frost the stars! Also the timelapse where you wore down the face was a fantastic touch too. Please never stop making youtube videos, your work is just..breathtaking.
