Description
- The dice made of natural Basalt.No two dice are alike! Natural striations, layers, and trapped detritus make each piece unique.
- Basalt was first recorded in 1546. It is the father of mineralogy - Georgius Agricola used in geological literature to describe the black rock of Saxony, Germany, which is a basic volcanic rock.
- Both Basalt and Obsidian are black, but their compositions are completely different. The main minerals of Basalt are basic feldspar and pyroxene, and the secondary minerals are olivine, amphibole and biotite.
- Basalt is brittle and difficult to obtain large stones, in addition, most basalt contains a large number of pores, so although it is widely distributed on the earth, there are few materials that can be processed into jewelry.
- Each set contains 7 dices: D4, D6, D8, D12, D20, 2*D10 (0-9 & 00-90).Updated to 2025 version accessories:1*Black metal box with Truewon logo;1* High-density sponge dice holder inside the box;1*crocodile pattern PU bag that can hold the whole box;1*Collapsible PU dice tray.
What are gem dice?
Usually we think that the dice made by cutting, grinding and engraving numbers from natural gemstones are called gemstone dice.
Some dice made of special glass and synthetic gemstones are also reluctantly considered gemstone dice.
(Synthetic gemstones are artificial substitutes for some natural gemstones due to their high price, too small particles, unique chemical properties, etc.)
What are the Pros and Cons of gem dice?
Pros: They are made of gemstones, have some collectible value, some dice have optical effects, every face distinct from the next, featuring the natural striations, layers, and even trapped detritus that characterizes each stone.
Cons: They don't have the springiness of acrylic dice, nor the heaviness of metal dice. They need to be treated more carefully especially D4.
