Geode dice are one of my favourite dice to look at and create, but they’re also very time consuming and a lot can go wrong at the various stages of dice making. I’ll go over my process of geode dice making and explain a bit about why they cost more and how much work goes into making these gorgeous dice.

First, you need to have 2 molds for geode dice. This is where it gets a bit confusing for people that don’t make dice. They’re made in 2 stages, the geodes, and then the shell with numbers, the actual dice themselves. First, you must make the geodes and to do that, you need a mold to make the actual rock shapes look like they’re carved out of dice. I use a geode blank mold by NanoLabMaker to do the first part and I get the results in the picture to the right. Once that is done, you have shells.

Now, to the left are some geode blanks I filled with glue and then dipped in some silvery white glitter. I got glitter everywhere. You can see they still aren’t complete dice yet. That’s the next step. I have to let the glue dry and harden. Then I get out my standard, 7 piece polyhedral dice mold and pour some clear resin in, pour some over each die, match it to the corresponding mold, add more resin, prep it, put the lid on, put it in my pressure pot, and boom, geode dice.

I’ll break it down. I’m basically adding a shell to complete the dice and give a clear cover so you can look inside like it’s a real rock. It’s a cool effect. When it’s fully cured, it’s a really neat look. Then I ink the numbers on and then polish, pretty up, and have some geode dice!

These are balanced dice, there is no inconsistency in weight. They’re really fun, sparkly, and unique. No 2 sets are exactly the same.
