Reasons why gemstone dice are expensive

Compared with dice made of metal, resin, and acrylic, gemstone dice are slightly more expensive.

1.Scarce materials: Gemstones themselves are formed in a long geological period, such as amethyst and turquoise, and their formation conditions are harsh and resources are scarce. The high-quality gemstones used to make dice are even rarer, and the high cost of raw materials lays the foundation for their price.

2.Complex process: The production process of gemstone dice is very delicate and complex, requiring high-precision cutting, grinding, and polishing techniques to ensure that each dice can maintain the accuracy of the geometric shape and the smoothness of the surface. .

3.Handmade limited production: Many gemstone dice are handmade by experienced craftsmen. This handmade method is not only time-consuming and labor-intensive, but also has limited output. Compared with ordinary dice produced by large-scale machinery, handmade gemstone dice have higher uniqueness and collection value, so the price is correspondingly higher.

Are gemstone dice fragile?

Most gemstones are hard but brittle. Taking crystal and agate as examples, they have good wear resistance in daily use, but they may break when subjected to severe impact or accidentally dropped. However, as long as you are careful and cautious during use and store them properly, such as placing them in a soft protective cover to avoid collision with hard objects, gemstone dice will generally not be easily damaged.

Throwing skills of gemstone dice

Correct throwing skills can extend the life of the dice. Hold the dice gently, throw steadily, and avoid excessive force. It is recommended to throw on a soft surface, such as plush dice, which can effectively reduce the impact force and protect the dice from damage.

  • Cleaning: Gently wipe the surface of the dice with a soft cloth to remove dust and stains, and keep it clean and tidy.
  • Storage: Place the dice in a dedicated dice bag to avoid contact with other hard objects to prevent scratches.
  • Avoid high temperatures: Gemstones are temperature sensitive, so avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight or high temperatures to prevent discoloration or cracking.
