What's with the 2 on the D12 in this picture? Seems like it wasn't engraved properly, and is just an outline instead of filled in like the other numbers.

Is that what people mean when they say "nearly impossible to read in certain lighting"?

I was surprised that they arrived with each die in a separate chamber of a plastic pill box, and that the 4-sided die was further bundled in paper. How likely are these to damage each other in a dice bag? Is the 4-sided die exceptionally fragile?
I am also curious to know if anybody has done anything to make the numbers more visible. I can read them without squinting, but it would be better (IMO) to have a high-contrast color there. Way back in the day of cheap plastic dice I used to rub crayon into the grooves to provide that contrast, but these metal dice have extremely shallow engraving and I doubt crayon wax would stick. Any thoughts out there?

Can you show some pictures of what the D4 looks like now?

Solid advice, though in the end I simply don't use them. While I love the heft, I hate having to squint to read them every time I throw 'em. They are purely decor on my gaming shelf at this point. I have a pair of steel d6 dice that I bought from The Dice Tower at a tabletop convention in Ohio a few years back that I love, though. Easy to read and they hit the table with authority without worry of the dice breaking each other.

Just wondering how heavy these are? Comparable to other gem dice or more like metal dice?

OmenisI don't own these, but I own a ton of MDG gemstone and metal dice. Hematite is somewhere in between. Most of the gemstone dice are light, but they do range depending on the stone (and can be fragile). Most of the MDG dice are zinc with plating and zinc is 50% denser than hematite, so you can expect these to be about 2/3s the weight of metal dice.

That link was for all the dice with stickers on them. This is the one with engravings. https://shop.metallicdicegames.com/collections/metallic-dice-games/products/engraved-opalite-and-blue-sandstone-sets

Under certain lighting these dice are impossible to read

The numbers just disappear on certain angles and lighting, I had to pick up and inspect each time I rolled the dice.

acy0I have a different pair like that which I don't use much anymore. It's lame to have to pick them up and squint! That's what I needed to know, thanks.

Dude104Can confirm—the dice on the website have stickers instead of engraving.
