This has to be my favorite video so far. Andrew, the editor for Hedron Rockworks, came to town and helped film this video. While I had an eye on cutting the die Andrew was capturing amazing footage over my shoulder. I hope you enjoy watching as much as we did crafting.
Angry Turtle the most interesting synthetics IMO:

the bubbles refract light differently meaning there is a starlight effect going on inside the die, its even better than just being clear, beautiful.
I totally agree
I really enjoy working with precious synthetic stones. They're much more affordable, yet the make-up is exactly like the natural stones except with much fewer flaws. Your dice videos (and accompanying music) is always a treat to watch. Thanks for another great video!
You can usually get lab grown rubies with or without flaws. My impression is that inclusions actually cost more, because these rubies are usually made for scientific equipment and you want the clearest ones for that. I could by wrong about that tho
I feel like a broken record commenting on your videos -- all I ever say is, "AMAZING! GORGEOUS! BEAUTIFUL WORK!" And it's always true! Frosting only the edges of the stars was an excellent idea!
A broken record only shows what it's missing when you play it all.
Letting a broken record play is just a show of how good it is.
A broken record sounds different when it's played, compared to when it was new. If anything, the meaning of the compliment changes over time, whilst still being positive
@@JamesBD05huh? It was never positive and still isn't tho?
Gay
The brightness of that fluorescence is insane. Imagine making an important roll at the table, like game changing roll, and the DM cuts the lights, turns on an overhead blacklight, and rolls with the ruby die. I can't even imagine how awesome that would feel.
I think with the bubbles, its like wine that had just been uncorked, or perhaps, the boiling blood of a berserker!
Blood for the Blood God! Milk for the Khorneflakes!
@@mahbuddykeith1124 long live the lathrixian legion
Oooooooooooh I like this
Coldblood gem from Bloodborne
❤ Blood for the blood god
Love everything about this, especially love the frosted stars and edges
That is a vision of beauty! Great design choice on just frosting the stars, and I love the "imperfections" in the ruby. Andrew hit one out of the park in the edit as well. You were not kidding saying this is the best video yet!
Thank you! Cheers!
Off-colored gems are the best. You’re literally getting MORE COLOR and Style
You guys make a great team what an amazing piece and so cool seeing your work in stages like this!
agreed
As a beginner jewlery maker, and an avid dnd player, your channel has brought me so much joy and inspiration to carry on my own projects. Thank you and great stuff!
Thanks for watching! Please share this video if you love the channel. It is by far the best way to support the growth of the channel.
Thank you! The music has always elevated the amazing work done on this channel...one of my favorite parts.
u rock andrew
I would seriously consider using a multiband compressor. The music and dialogue are all over the place.
Bro be cooking on them edits
Lovely editing Andrew! May i ask what editing music site you use? I’m always looking for good classically based music for my videos. Thank you!
I love how you’ve started putting your artisan mark onto your dice! Makes them even more unique and charming!
10:47 LOL the stop motion animation made me giggle. thank you andrew for your excellent service, this was truly the best video yet
he was as majestic as a T posing heavy
It’s like a dad waiting for his first born outside labor/delivery
Incredible work! The frosted edges on the stars are gorgeous, and the bubbles that make that a poor gem for jewelry make it an absolutely gorgeous die!
I'd love to see a die with the sides frosted and the stars polished, especially something really dark like lab-grown sapphire.
Awww, I miss the old title. Because this die truly is the most beautiful piece of forbidden strawberry candy I’ve ever seen.
The whole youtube title changing thing is weird
@@TheTuttle99 It definitely seems to work, though. Sometimes I'm totally uninterested in a video, then the title changes and it grabs me.
What was the old title?
@@oatmongen4263 There is an option to have multiple titles for one video, similar to thumbnails. ruclips.net/video/lHIWMmVoA44/видео.html
Ltt did a video about it. Whichever has the best Click through rate is the one used
in our dead post modern world, great craftmanship shines brighter than any precious metal, and creative passion, more dazzling even the most brilliant gemstone. these skills endure because they are an art, and in spite of corporate demands, will never be replaceable. keep on creating and posting your gorgeous works of art.
Thank you very much
Bro what are you going on about? Can you use more empty buzzwords that you don't actually understand?
@@SexySkeletons69 come again? The only thing that might be considered a "buzzword" is post modern, but that's a stretch. It's an ideology that is currently dominating global politics. It's largely adjectives, and I know what all of those words mean, that's why I chose them. You on the other hand probably don't understand what I said.
@@cgjoh do you seriously expect basic english skills out of someone called SexySkeletons69?
Andrew's stop motion was hilarious. And, for most purposes this Ruby wouldn't be good but as a dice the bubbles give rather than take away. What a beautiful piece.
The last shot of everything going black with the logo left illuminated.. 👌👌
From minute 0 you had me hooked.
Andrew was right. This is something special.
What I appreciate about your videos and this one especially is the time spent working on the video itself as well as the D20. The talent you guys have for both the dice making and videography are next level!
You are 100% right. There are two works of art there.
I'm pretty sure this is what Abu tried to steal from the Cave of Wonder that got him and Aladdin trapped in there.
Yo for real it does😂
If that's true than we've been too harsh on him.
So much "satisfying DIY" content out there is silent or overly focuses on quick glamour shots. I really appreciate that you show the full process, both in the shooting and in the editing. The fact that you even show the mistakes and setbacks is extremely appreciated, too 😊
Awesome. Each time I see these, I imagine someone stumbling across a collection of pure gem die in the future and them trying to explain why.
Ritual purposes of course. Very elaborate ones.
Some form of religious artifact
@@LexYeen I don't know how OP feels, but I'd be afraid to roll one!
Assuming whoever or whatever discovers it isn't in a world where we've stopped commonly making art just for fun, I think they'd be able to figure out it's a hobbyist thing.
@@catpoke9557Unless they think we were too primitive to have esoteric hobbies.
Been watching Your stuff since early on and I love every single video you guys make. I really appreciate your attention to detail and stunning craftsmanship. As one craftsman to another, bravo fellas.

Ah, so this is what Sting was singing about!
🤣
you son of a bitch 😆you got me with that one
lmao
It all makes sense now.
I am in love with this video, the dice and ur process. I feel inspired by watching it! to do what, idk yet but I feel inspired
It is always a pleasure to watch a craftsman at work both in front of, and behind, the camera. Well done gents.
Not only is this gem startlingly gorgeous, but the music was -chef's kiss-. Most of these tracks are now in my 'music to write to'. Thank you SO MUCH for listing the tracks!
How did you find them? Because SpotifyUS definitely doesn't have them 😭
@@arliafrink3043 I found the bulk of them under Adrian Berenguer. Hope you find them!
The star reminds me of a New Year ornament. I’m from Russia, and it’s still fairly common to put a red star on the top of the fir tree when decorating (instead of something like an angel - religion being banned for a while there in the 20th century). When the light was catching the facets and the red star glowed it reminded me of when I was a child, looking up at the decorated tree in anticipation of presents. Beautiful.
Must be Terrible being from Russia.
@@sforza209 I can’t tell if this is meant to be derogatory or genuine comment.
This might be the best one yet. WHAT A STUNNING WORK OF ART. And great to know that is in good hands. I wish the best for You two guys.
A sapphire one would look absolutely bonkers.
Technically Ruby is a sapphire, but I agree that a different color one would look really good.
And a garnet one would look even better
How about one in deep blue sapphire and one in white (colorless) sapphire. Then you'd have quite the set! The best 3d20 to roll.🤩
Literally got chills when I saw the modeling image, knew it was going to be great from the start
I watch a lot of craft and woodworking videos. Something about it just pleases my brain, I can't really explain it. Your videos always scratch the itch deep inside my head. Thank you, keep doing what you're doing.
that's called ASMR. It's a huge category in youtube, you can find a lot. cutting kinetic sand, fingernails tapping, soft scratches on a desk, that sort of thing will create that feeling at the back of our heads called ASMR
REAL same
I'm going to get into the trade soon because of the similar experience I've had
If you are like me, watching an expert build, craft, create and basically do whatever they are an expert at is always fulfilling and enjoyable. It doesn’t matter the craft or if it’s an area I’m discovering for the first time.
Definitely recommend trying your own hand at creative endeavors
The use of timelapse footage in this video was excellent and really demonstrated just how much effort and preparation goes into these dice projects. Andrew definitely earned that artwork
To this day I’m still surprised that RUclips recommended me this channel. Usually I just get rough, but this was the diamond. Keep up the superb work guys!
It was super random for me. I don't watch these types of videos but I saw his first one in my recommended and clicked. Been here sense and I've loved every minute of it. So glad I can see beauty being created with each video.
I'm really happy that I get to watch such cool artistry happening and just I know it's not magic but it's close enough
God I love some frosting !
Congrats to Doug for that incredible jewel 🤩 and congrats to Andrew for the stunning edit, it really feels like a journey.
So proud to be a patreon !
Every time I watch your videos. The beauty of the dice makes me want to try a hand in it. I don't feel as I would be able to make anything of your quality. You cease to amaze.
The air bubbles with the frosted edges make it look great.
absolutely loved seeing Andrew spin in circles in that timelapse at 10:47.
Well, I'm sad that I wasn't the one to bring you the ruby, but I'm really happy to see it done! This must have taken FOREVER since it's basically the same material as your polishing compound. Oh, and hi Andrew!
I have to say I'm a little disappointed you didn't show this thing off under UV. Ruby fluoresces brightly under UV and this thing would light up like the 4th of july.
On that note, I do miss the rock facts we got in some of your earlier videos.
He probably didn't know they light up or didn't have a UV light... But now that he probably does know because of this comment, I hope he gets one just to make a video showing off the glow!!
He Did light it up in the video using UV. It was around the 13:00 minute mark.
@@IskandrsKnot It's not really clear in that shot if he's lighting it with UV, but I suppose it could be. It's also not the finished die, either. I was thinking more like a close-up of the finished die under UV with the camera properly adjusted to take full advantage of it.
@@pufthemajicdragon I mean, all that was left was breaking the finish to frost the edges and painting on the numbers. It was otherwise a completely polished ruby. You can clearly see the UV lamp in the top-left, and it got so bright that the camera auto adjusted.
Holy crap. I just found the world of hand made D20s from stone and this video really shows the depth you go to for perfection. The skill here is bonkers.
Amazing! This is a die befitting the attention of Sardior the Ruby Dragon, patron of the gem dragons (my favorite dragons of all). And thanks to Andrew as well.
Didn't it was possible to tear up during a dice making video... Yet here I am. Beautiful work!
I want a synthetic sapphire d20 like that!! **Take my money!** I loved the video. The die was amazing! Andrew, thanks for all your work on these videos! The songs you chose for this, I could listen to in my every day life.
Ooh wow yea Sapphire would be gorgeous!
Your videos are so incredibly gorgeous. There’s something so calming about your work and both of you have done something beautiful with this channel. Incredible
This is my favorite synthetic stone you've done. Absolutely beautiful.
absolutely gorgeous, i have no words
The beauty of a craft really comes out when someone is passionate about it. You can see and feel your passion. Thank you for the wonderful video.
Your work is absolutely amazing, and your work is the perfect showcase for Andrew's. His edit skills are #1 top tier. To take what is essentially B roll and make awesome videos. BUT his choice of shots as a camera man... HOLY CRAP! This might be you top video for a LONG time. Excellent work, Both of you!
Man I fell in love with your first video I watched because the music harmonized with what you were saying, what you were doing, and the mineral itself so good I shed a tear. Glad you two work with each other!
Just finishing up the video and oh my goodness. I thought rubies were overrated (even though it's one of my favs) but you made me love it even more now. It looks amazing in a bigger chunk than usual gemstones but also with bigger, few faces. And don't get me started with the stars and frosting! I'm crying all over again here!
the frosted edges on the stars are a great idea. i also laughed at the dude spinning lol amazing work
The videography and the editing on this video were something special. Both you and Andrew do such wonderful work.
Magical. What a lovely feeling to have second hand pride while I watched you carefully craft this. And the editing was the vessel on which that feeling travelled. Thank you both for sharing.
The heartbeat in the sound design towards the end was so cool. really neat way to ramp up the tension of the finale. I honestly felt like I was watching the making of a powerful magical artifact and we were unsure if he would succeed or fail. great story telling.
Ok...This is the "one piece" for my dice collection !
Well, I'll have to find a boat and a crew...
It would be a dream to be able to make one of my videos with a die like this.
Congratulations for this masterpiece!
THE ONE PIECE IS REAL
Shoutout to Andrew, love the vids! Thank you for sharing your passion with us!!
You were right about the bubbles adding depth, and i love the decision to only frost the stars, it genuinely looks amazing. Y'all got really dang lucky with the dual color ruby there.
Really a great video and massive shoutout to Andrew's editing. As someone who does video editing myself, I can really feel how much time went into it.
Also nice "stop motion", made me laugh ;D
10:05 I like how the hand that needs the heat protective glove is the one holding the lighter.
I was thinking the same thing lmao
Probs to editor, amazing music and magnificent colors in the video. Absolutely well done!
Once again a beautiful stunning video. I love the 15 minute runtime, could watch for an hour. Beautiful creation and video from Doug and Andrew
If someone had told me years ago I'd eagerly watch a man grinding rocks into dice...
And yet, here we are. Another amazing piece! Well done, both of you! :)
Out of all the dice I’ve seen this has to be by far the one that feels most magical. It really looks like a gemstone of power, almost glowing beautifully. Incredible job.
I love all of the video, but this one is especially great.
Keep up the amazing work. Y’all are inspiring with both of your art forms.
Thank you for not only crediting your editor but also appreciation them!!! I know channels where they use an editor but don't credit or acknowledge them in video.
When people hear Synthetic, they may think Fake. That's not Fake. It's an actual Real Ruby. And you desperately need to find a blacklight and shine it on there. You will understand why the moment you do....Make a short of it when you do!
Yeah agreed, this is also why I'm not a fan of the "natural" moniker.
I wish people would realize that synthetic actually just means "real without the slave labor jewel companies use to mine 'natural' gems"
It's funny because I read the wikipedia article about synthetic gemstones two months ago and I'm baffled anyone would not actually try and find out how you can synthesize rocks, I was actually so fascinated by the process I really was about to contact a lab to see if I could see it!
Isn’t the only difference between what people call “real” and synthetic is that synthetic are lab made and natural form naturally but they both basically go through the same process one is just a bit more faster?
@@shuichi28 Yes, but jewel companies have given synthetic gems a stigma, because they cost more to produce, so they have led a very long campaign to say that getting someone a synthetic gem is a lesser statement of love than a natural one. It sucks ass.
your videos always stun me and I always share with my other dice nerds!
This might be my favorite die you've done. It's a true work of art! Absolutely gorgeous.
Incredible work as always. Every time you make a new gemstone die, the inner dice goblin in me squeals with joy. Thanks for sharing this with us!
I got a little misty-eyed there at the end. Brilliant work all around. Thank you.
a bit unrelated but a year or so ago i saw your video of the glowing rock dice and decided to make sinthetic rubies for eventually doing something like this but it never made it to a scale big enough, anyway thank you indirectly for making my project start (i apologize for any bad english).
wonderful dice by the way
Just finished a DnD 5E session with two of my young grandsons, oldest daughter, and my wife. The little guys loved it and managed to make it to the end of the adventure and reap the rewards. This video is a nice way for me to relax after DM'ing. Awesome job on the die. Just straight up wow.
The little frosting on the lines of the stars are gorgeous.
I didn't think I would like them, but they work really well with the little bubbles inside the die.
Outlining the stars?! Holy cow. It looks incredible.
Wow. Just incredible work here! The stone you chose had such character to be unlocked and the last shot from above with all of the cutting and polishing finished and the numbers in place? The bubbles inside almost look like stars.
Dude. Frick'n sweet!
Pure artistry. Every time I think 'there's no way he's going to be able to top this', you never fail to bust out something even more beautiful.
Phenomenal work. Your videos always leave me longing to take up lapidary. You're truly inspiring!
i gotta say, these videos make me tear up at how beautiful they are. you and your editor are a great team.
These videos bring an unsolicited amount of joy to my life, and for that I thank you. Not just the crafts but also your character just fill my heart with joy
This is an epic dice and he absolutely deserves it! Great work!
Thanks a ton!
favorite video from this channel to date
If I wasn't a poor college student helping out my family I'd send you a blank check and ask for a set for my best pals. As I am broke and in college and supporting family, I will have daydreams of the perfect heist with these dice as the purpose in me robbing banks.
Synthetic ruby is pretty cheap actually. Probably wouldn't need to rob something so big
Great work both of you. It's so enjoyable seeing craftsmen perform their work with skill and dedication.
I think you probably have the blessing of Athena, the Greek goddess of the crafts (among other things) because the amount of skill and precision required for such a beautiful result is quite simply divine!
lol they’re myths dude
Since day one and at youtube's suggestion, I've had the privilege of getting to watch your videos. Every time a new one drops, it's like a gift that I'm overjoyed to tear into. This one especially with its length and that beautiful music to accompany the entire video. Im always enthralled and I always look forward to your next video.
A d20 made from uranium glass would be pretty punk rock.
Wouldnt be able to work on it tho, grinding uranium glass is not particularly clever
I’m working on a huge LuAG right now. It will look very similar to
@@Staroy proper PPE and it should be fine.
@@trebordodge7209and de-contamination of the whole workshop afterwards.
Radioactive micro dust all over the lab such a great idea…
It would look cool as hell, but not worth the safety risks imo. Uranium glass is safe to handle in one piece, but you definitely don’t want to be breathing dust from it.
Truly a masterpiece of craftsmanship and video production, genuinely one of the most beautiful video's I have watched
Absolutely beautiful ,I hope one day you get the chance to do soemthing green like Emerald, I bet it would be gorgeous!
There’s something so deeply fascinating about watching something beautiful be made. These videos are always a joy to watch
The precision and artistry required to cut a ruby into a D20 shape is truly remarkable. The skill displayed in achieving such perfect symmetry and facets on such a challenging material is a testament to the cutter's exceptional craftsmanship and expertise. The result is not just a beautifully cut gem but a masterpiece that reflects both the inherent beauty of the ruby and the unparalleled skill of the artisan.
I love the clear gemstone dice you made so far the mostthough all of them are beautiful
Such an amazing video and an awesome 🎲!
Thanks so much!!
These videos are always so masterful and elegantly edited. Theres something deeply meditative with the blending of the music and cuts. I don't know what it was, but the stop motion bits were really nostalgic. Beautiful finish.
Where can we buy your work? Just having one in my home would tick off a line on my bucket list.
What a beautiful piece of artistry… the dice and the video both.
I am always so envious of people like you guys who have such talent and ability! Very amazing and inspiring work!!
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!
Wow that was really special. Keep em coming, I really like the close ups at the end, especially hwen a light is shined through it and it sends out light in all directions.
Okay, how about this-- Make one of those aluminum foil balls, polish it, and make an amazing D20 out of it. You rock. Love your art.
this seems like it would be so cool😭
Probably better to just use a solid chunk of aluminum, a foil ball can be polished down to shine but it's still not solid so when you start shaping it into a die it's gonna fall apart.
@@lightmagickNope, gotta make the foil ball, otherwise it’s just a chunk of aluminum. We want magic. We want shiny foil ball
I first saw your amethyst D20 video, and now this. You sir are an artist, this is absolutely gorgeous, awe-inspiring work.
I love the inclusions. I want to record an entire session to learn how he does this. Im the fool that would buy the equipment just as a hobby.
Me too! Me too
absolutely amazing! the end product is so stunning and you guys clearly worked so hard on it. A job well done!
