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:

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
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!

Oooooooooooh I like this
Coldblood gem from Bloodborne
❤ Blood for the blood god
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.
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!
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
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
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.
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.
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'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.
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.
I love how you’ve started putting your artisan mark onto your dice! Makes them even more unique and charming!

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.
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 frosted edges on the stars are a great idea. i also laughed at the dude spinning lol amazing work
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.
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.🤩
It is always a pleasure to watch a craftsman at work both in front of, and behind, the camera. Well done gents.
absolutely loved seeing Andrew spin in circles in that timelapse at 10:47.
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.
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.
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!!
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!
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
From minute 0 you had me hooked.
Andrew was right. This is something special.
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 !
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!
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
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
To this day I’m still surprised that UA-cam 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.
This is absolutely beautiful!
Thanks for sharing this process. Thanks to the both of you for the outstanding content
Absolutely stunning! This one really made you work for it!
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!
This is an epic dice and he absolutely deserves it! Great work!
Thanks a ton!
Once again, masterfully done! Both the dice and the editing.
That’s truly beautiful. I’m in awe of your skills and art.
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! :)
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.
Beautiful. And a great video. You both are amazing artists.
You guys make such amazing content. Really happy to witness part of you artwork
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.
The air bubbles with the frosted edges make it look great.
I love every single die you've made so far, and this really takes the cake!
This Chanel is honestly a work of art. The passion everyone has is incredible! Watching your videos is genuinely inspiring and each and every dice has a magical and unique feeling to it! I wish everyone who is part and helped this channel a wonderful day and thank you for sharing these videos with us!
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.
This is my favorite synthetic stone you've done. Absolutely beautiful.
This is such a classy design!! Beautiful work! And the footage is incredible!
Just WOW! Amazing dice and footage. it was awesome! ❤
The videography and the editing on this video were something special. Both you and Andrew do such wonderful work.
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!
Another absolutely wonderful video! Thanks for the continued beauty and I'm excited to see what Andrew keeps bringing to the experience
One of my favorite channels posting is always a treat - beautiful work! Thanks for sharing!!
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
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.
It's always a treat watching each die slowly taking shape, and the final product is consistently stunning.
Literally breathtaking. You guys have outdone yourselves with every video!
Shoutout to Andrew, love the vids! Thank you for sharing your passion with us!!
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.
your work is absolutely phenomenal! the die is stunning !
Watching you work is therapeutic, and the music puts me in such a calm and clear state. thank you. :)
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.
This might be my favorite die you've done. It's a true work of art! Absolutely gorgeous.
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
Really incredible.. what a gorgeous work of art. The stars were such a good idea too. And beautiful footage and editing!!
I got a little misty-eyed there at the end. Brilliant work all around. Thank you.
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.
WOW. Great craftsmanship, on the gem and the editing! Easy sub, can’t wait to see more.
Just absolutely gorgeous. I love the idea to just frost the stars on this one. Some epic shots in this video as well! Well done all around!
i will never stop being absolutely baffled by how beautiful your work is. not only are you an extremely skilled and talented craftsman, but your editor does an incredible job; each video feels almost like a short film and the music fits the vibe perfectly. thank you for making these videos!!
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.
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.
This is so incredible, the both of you are very talented at what you do! the star edges being frosted was a great idea!
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
I enjoy watching all your videos, and this one felt special. Keep it up!
This is one of the coolest videos you’ve made yet; it’s beautiful!
Amazing job, my favourite yet. Also, while I had not really ever paid specific attention to it, the editing has always and continues to be excellent.
Outlining the stars?! Holy cow. It looks incredible.
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
Some super great stuff you’re making in here! Hope to see more soon!
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.
We can just appreciate and enjoy his phenomenal work.❤
Excellent cinematography and editing on this one. Beautiful work captured beautifully.
I've been waiting a long time for you to make a video on ruby die. And it turned out amazing as usual! Was an extra treat with all the amazing shots Andrew took.
Woke up sick today, but seeing this on my feed made a pretty crappy day into a pretty good day.
i gotta say, these videos make me tear up at how beautiful they are. you and your editor are a great team.
Phenomenal work. Your videos always leave me longing to take up lapidary. You're truly inspiring!
Love these videos, props to Andrew. The edits and music on this channel are immaculate! Well done everyone, and thanks so much for the videos.
Where can we buy your work? Just having one in my home would tick off a line on my bucket list.
Absolutely beautiful ,I hope one day you get the chance to do soemthing green like Emerald, I bet it would be gorgeous!
Great work both of you. It's so enjoyable seeing craftsmen perform their work with skill and dedication.
This is yet the best video of your channel, period.
oh my god Ruby is one of my favourite gemstones, and this die is absolutely AWESOME!
I want this die so bad!!
My God... 😳 one day I want to be able to afford one of these... to me the yooperlite and this one were your most beautiful dice so far, thank you for sharing your process
Great work you two! Both the die and the video look great!
Amazing work as always, and good call on the stars! They look beautiful.
Such an amazing video and an awesome 🎲!
Thanks so much!!
every video and every die one banger after the other
absolutely amazing! the end product is so stunning and you guys clearly worked so hard on it. A job well done!
Great video and music, fantastic dice!
What's not to love?
The hidden 2nd tone/colour looked amazing
Another stunner 😍
