guys, I just want to remind everyone this guy has made 11 videos. He is new at this yet these feel incredible professional. The camera work, music and editing make it feel as though you are a massive youtuber with a full team at your disposal.
Fr, it feels so professional. Let's us have a really good look at the skills he built over the years and helps me appreciate his craft. Not even just the recording and videoing too, his narrations and music choices are also good. Bless this dude, hope his channel grows much bigger
In general I think your star cut is one of the coolest finishes I've seen on a die, but for this material specifically I like seeing as much of the flat as possible for the beautiful colors. Amazing work as always!
This was great! I like to see the emotion that each stone creates as you craft from them - some seem easier to handle, and some like this one seemed to bring more frustration and required more improvisation and a lot more thought into the process. The end result is beautiful as always, and especially here I think that changing your plan partway through and not doing the star cuts was definitely the right call. Thank you for sharing!
The final reveals with the pitch black background are a-grade. Absolute masterpieces! I would love to see them projected on every surface of a museum exhibit or at an underground rave. Yum!
Absolutely phenomenal. The sharp edges and simplicity work so well with opal as it is such a unique, striking stone that is so mesmerising. I think you made a good choice keeping it simple to not distract from the beauty of the stone.
I love the look of your star cut on single colour gems or those with more simple internal patterns, like the amethyst and the christmas garnet, but for something with as much going on inside as this opal sharp edges really seem like the move. Incredible work!!
Considering your works are $1,200 a piece with additional cost dependant on the complexity, I would say that your work is worth every dollar your customers have. Awesome! Love your work!
1:36 Couldn't stop myself from saying "Cool, the D6 is finished!" 🤣 The finished D20 is beautiful. I've never heard of Bello Opal before, but it's a really neat effect as it rolls. You definitely made the right choice to de-round the facets.
The light pink paint shows up so nicely on the opal. It adds a touch of unassuming gentleness, enticing foes to lower their guard, only for the full force of the die's rainbow power to hit with all the more force. The mark of a true artist is that they can use their medium to tell incredible and nuanced stories, no matter the material or craft.
The glamour shots at the end showcased all the beauty of this material and all the work you put into this die, they were phenomenal! It literally gave me goosebumps.
One thing I love about these videos are the difference between the aesthetic shots and the general footage, the latter being all wide shots that are purely functional to let us know what’s happening, and all the prettier footage is close up and perfectly focused as if we’re looking through his own eyes
you make the most amazing dice. one day I will purchase one of these from you. whenever someone visits they will have to roll it for some kind of wild magic effect
I see notification, I clicked and liked so fast 🥰 this piece is suuuuper gorgeous. The flashes are so bright, the die is basically alive 😍 thank you for all the hard work you do. 🙏 merry blessed Christmas to you and your family and channel team! 🎉
I really like the additional commentary you have in these more recent videos, especially about what kind of character would be using each particular die. Amazing job as always!
RUclips algorithm working wonders again. Not a tabletop game fan but been obsessed with Baldurs gate 3 last couple weeks so got dice on my mind and got recommended these videos. My God the quality of your work in both faceting and video production is insane, your videos themselves are just as immersive as the games played with the die you create
I don't know what I like the most about your videos: the process or the outcome. Both are incredibly satisfying. You're an artist and these dice are jewels.
This was so gorgeous! Opals are my favorite stones. An interesting crystal you could try is aquamarine, as they have high clarity and the crystals can be massive.
Just the combination of the beauty of this dice, combined with the music and the processes. The attention to detail and the care placed in this. It elevates it to a piece of REAL art! You can be SO PROUD of yourself, it's so beautiful!
An absolutely stunning die. You my sir have not only sparked my love for geometry again but for my drive to get into stone cutting. You truly are a master at this. I would do anything to own a d20 from you.
I stopped looking at your videos for a while jsut because. Now I come and you have amazing music and a very compelling narration. It really imporved. thank you
You're one of my favorite youtubers. The editor's work is purely amazing, the timing of the violins near the end was on par and creative, The angles were detailed and the choice of music is very nice and calming. Your handiwork is no short of perplexing, being able to turn simple rocks in to pure art. It is a skill I have never seen before Thank you very much, I look forward to seeing more of your content.
Beautiful as always -- and I think the simpler cut worked for that colorful stone. Among the patches of color, I think the smaller facets of the stars would have gotten lost. Every knitter has made the mistake of buying a beautiful variegated yarn and making a cabled sweater out of it, only to learn that the cables got lost in the color patches and all the extra work was for nothing. And it was interesting to see the difference a perfectly flat face made. I did indeed think that the slightly rounded faces looked fine ... until you showed the perfectly flat ones, and then the difference was noticeable.
I'm so jelly I'm kind of sick inside knowing I can't have one.😅 You are a genius. You don't just cut your pieces, your work is articulate. Bringing beauty to the world. I'm going to see if I can think up a challenge for you that you haven't done. I LOVE your work🫠👍
Just opened my last Advent calendar dice from Level up dice! I didn't get yours, but I did get some awesome dice! Thank you for making your videos, I love everything you make!
So freaking good! I don't know how many dice I have ended up buying because of your videos *looks up bello opal next*. Also the Vivladi music at the end made me giggle. Throwback to Debeers. Ha! Great stuff!
This is really some of your finest craftsmanship. I have always loved opals as far back I can remember. So much more fire than any other gem. Magnificent!
I would LOVE to see a Labradorite one! I absolutely love the way that stone flashes! But because of the structure I’m not sure if it would be a good stone to work with or if it would risk fracturing :/ super cool work! Also if you work with some other odd stones please wear a mask!! Malachite specifically but I’d sure there others that wouldn’t be good to inhale dust from!
All the shots, choices of music, and the creative/troubleshooting process itself really hit me in the feels. The die is fantastic, in every sense of the word.
You've done it again. In my opinion opals are the most beautiful stones. Each one has its own unique patterns, its own colors, and hence, its own personality. Thank you so much for making this video.
I love every die you make. Every new thing you try, every new material, they're all amazing, and thank you for uploading these videos. I look forward to seeing them. My favourite cut is the one you did on the amethyst, with the frosted edges. That was magical.
Watching on my break at work and it really brightened my day. Your work is always stunning and seeing the process in such cinematic beauty is a real treat. Thank you!!!
I really love your work, man! On the one hand, it's always incredible what kinda of stones you choose that even when they don't look particularily special on their own, your dice always come out amazingly. On the other hand the cuts you choose are always great! Keep up the great work, what you do is really special. I would love to see some more frosted edges like you did with the amethyst, it's such a nice detail imo :)
Your work is amazing as always! The color on the opal is just stunning. This die defiantly belongs to a wild magic sorcerer. I imagine them pulling out this set of dice for a skill check and getting major luck and charisma boosts just because of them, right before they also turn their hair and skin the same color patterns of the opal.
I dont even use or have the need for the dice but just stumbled onto your vids and apsolutly love the work and how they turn out! Glad you can across my recommended videos, keep up the amazing work!
guys, I just want to remind everyone this guy has made 11 videos. He is new at this yet these feel incredible professional. The camera work, music and editing make it feel as though you are a massive youtuber with a full team at your disposal.
Agreed. I stumbled on this and dont know how, but i am subbed. Keeps me watching and interested the entire time
Fr, it feels so professional.
Let's us have a really good look at the skills he built over the years and helps me appreciate his craft.
Not even just the recording and videoing too, his narrations and music choices are also good. Bless this dude, hope his channel grows much bigger
I found him when he still had only like 5 videos and I was blown away for the same reason. They've just kept getting better too!
thats really inspiring tbh
as a gemcutter he is precise ... not just when it comes to cutting the dice!
edit: oh wow unintentional rhyme xD
There is something about just turning gems into dice that I really like. Keep up the amazing work 👍
Thank you very much!
*(proceeds to smash your window, turn it into a die and roll d20 for persuasion)*
@@j-j-jingles4797 oh no you're one of those.
@@brianmylesrothstein7660Yeah, surprisingly, there's a lot of DnD players in this guy's comment section. weird
@@alekosthecrow not the DnD thing, my guy. The "roleplaying your actions at people as if it would do anything in real life" thing.
The dramatic music really turns these into mini documentaries. I like the attention to detail for more than just the dice.
The finishing shots were absolutely magical. Amazing work as per usual. This video's like a little holiday treat.
You're really good at making gemstones look edible.
It’s ok. You’re not alone.
In general I think your star cut is one of the coolest finishes I've seen on a die, but for this material specifically I like seeing as much of the flat as possible for the beautiful colors. Amazing work as always!
dude i love how you started adding more narratives into the die making process, VERY great work, man, keep doing your best and merry christmas!!!
I will be adding more information stuff. I would love to inspire a few to take up this hobby.
@@hedronrockworksyou’re getting so close, maybe 2 more videos and I’m in, full send 😂
The color you chose for the numbering is great, I wasn't expecting anything to contrast super well against that material but it's very readable.
Imagine gold
High vis green would have worked as well, I think. But I like the bubblegum pink for this application.

I really love the choice of classical music for these videos. To me, it's a perfect compliment.
There are no words for how beautiful this is
And what an amazing gift you have.
Great work
My favorite that you've done was the amethyst where you scratched the edges. Really made the facets pop.
I loved the amethyst d20 with the frosted edges. The frosted edges really highlighted the sparkle of the faces.
Wish I could learn a trade like this. Looks incredible, amazing work. Editing was also amazing.
The glamour shots at the end showcased all the beauty of this material and all the work you put into this die, they were phenomenal! It literally gave me goosebumps.
Vivaldi - Winter is such perfect scoring for the absolute DRAMA of this d20! Stunning and gorgeous!!

I don't play D&D, but I love this craft. Bravo sir.
those colors are beyond words! i usually prefer the star bevels you make, but i agree on this one they would have probably been too much
i think this is by far the most beautiful one i've seen
That final edit was fire, the lining up with the music was perfect
Unbelievable. The end product is jawdropping and a marvel to look at. It's so beautiful. What a one of a kind piece of art.

Another beautiful piece of art, They are so vibrant, colorful, and Beautiful!
I think this is the most stunning one you've made to date, and 100% agree on it being the perfect die for a wild-magic caster.
The best one so far!
A work of art.
i love watching your videos, it just reminds me of being in an old wood cabin in the woods with a friend mid winter and chatting about life.
Wow I love this visual.
Each time I see your finished Art pieces, I just smile. Thank you for the many inspired moments.

I love how different this process is from normal, it is so beautiful as a dice
Sharp edge dice will always be my favorite. The pure beauty of platonic solids feels magical in itself.
This is honestly just the prettiest D20 I’ve ever seen. Incredible work!
Love these videos they are satisfying to watch!
John Keats once wrote, "A thing of beauty is a joy forever." This, my good sir, is a thing of beauty.
An absolute stunning master piece. Good job.
An absolutely stunning die. You my sir have not only sparked my love for geometry again but for my drive to get into stone cutting. You truly are a master at this. I would do anything to own a d20 from you.
literally stunning - the colors and sparkle STUN me 🤩🤩🤩
Man, it's so satisfying to watch you work.
Merry Christmas to you and yours! thanks for giving us something beautiful to watch today! your work brings me so much joy!
I stopped looking at your videos for a while jsut because. Now I come and you have amazing music and a very compelling narration. It really imporved. thank you
One day, I might get tired of watching you make these incredible dice.
But god, today's not that day.
I absolutely love your work, not only is the end result stunning but I learn nifty things about the gems I didn't know.

You are spot on with the flatness of the faces. It looks ok rounded. But there is just something about that super flat face that screams quality.

That’s too bad. But there are still some beautiful stuff in there. I hope you enjoyed opening them all.
So freaking good! I don't know how many dice I have ended up buying because of your videos *looks up bello opal next*. Also the Vivladi music at the end made me giggle. Throwback to Debeers. Ha! Great stuff!
Love watching your process and what you create - So cool, thanks for sharing!
This has to be one of my favorite channels. Always am intrigued by how they go from gem to dice.
The purple D20 with the star cut and frosted edges is the best one so far. THAT cut was amazing!
Can you try amber with an insect in it.
That would be mental!!!
And depending on where the insect is and the weight of it vs the weight of the amber you might roll a few more 20s
how about an smokey green epoxy resin with a nurgle chaosbspace marine helmet in it.
sorry fat fingers
Insects arent heavy enough to make it a loaded die@@Bodgie7878
You're amazing man, keep up the motivation, people are always going to watch
I have never cut a gem in my life, but know the magic of the D20. You are incredibly satisfying to watch, and your passion is contagious ❤
The choice of music is very beautiful. Almost as the dice themselves
It's most beautiful dice I have seen.
You are the person that I get most excited about seeing a new upload from on youtube. Truly amazing videos every time, and this one is a masterpiece

So beautiful. Thanks for rolling it!! 👍👍👍
Can i just say the music choice in this vid was PHENOMENAL
Semplicemente meraviglioso! Buon Natale!
Absolutely stunning!
The reveal with Vivaldi in the background was just delicious.
