I am extremely disappointed with these dice. The stone is pretty, but the dice are not symmetrical or even at all, which makes them not roll evenly and they look ugly and tilted on the table. Plus, many of the numbers are printed off center... Leading to dice sides being misshapen AND having of center numbers... I could understand this quality from a $5 set of plastic dice, but I paid for quality dice. Making them from pretty stone does not excuse you from making them well.
Kristina.LFWIW, I too got these from the Kickstarter and am very pleased with the ones that I got. (I don't dispute that their might be quality control issues affecting other sets.) Mine are so nice to play with that they are now part of my regular gaming set. I love the hand feel, and the legibility.
Based on the comments here I just did a 200 roll Pearson's chi-squared of my d20, and it came out at 19.57, comfortably below the threshold for a biased die. I did take another look at the inking too and it is mostly very good, although I do note that my the 0 on the d10 is a bit off alignment.
So with the caveat that I don't know how quality control is being handled for this batch, they can be very nice. I hope that this is getting nailed down.
Just got my set. They look GORGEOUS, roll well, and i have no issues with uneven dice or whatever. So glad I bought these. Excellent addition to my collection.
ShallowGravyI don't use them as much as I use my plastic sets, but there's no chipping and i store them with everything else. A few of the painted numbers show some wear, that's about it.
Adding in my input here as I've had these dice since September 2016 in a previous drop.
I would not recommend these. In just a few sessions of use, I've already had one of them break. I understand there is a warning, but these are fragile for their cost.
It's good to know they are not all bad! Honestly, my biggest issue is not with their lack of quality, it's worth the lack of response from their customer service. They're website says they will replace faulty dice, so I contacted them through their website (before leaving a review here of course) asking for either replacements or a refund and got no response. Then after leaving my review here, I still got no reply. It's possible you'll get good dice from them, but if you don't, you can't expect good customer service!
Jlyb75I can almost guarantee they are a synthetic imitation just because they appear much lighter in color than the pure turquoise I've seen. Additionally, I'd expect the price to be much higher if these were made of natural turquoise. It is a fairly rare semi-precious gemstone. If the description here is accurate, though, it is the same chemical makeup. Only this material was formed in a lab and not in the Earth.
I didn't think my set was uneven, but now that I'm looking closely I do see that they are a little uneven. It doesn't seem to affect how they sit much, and I haven't noticed rolling problems. I'll test with some salt water to see if they are balanced sometime soon and post about it.
