What is Akik Dice Project?

Hi, welcome to Akik Dice Project. This project is commited to make unique polyhedral dice completely by hand.

In Bahasa Indonesia (Indonesian language), "akik" means a type of agate. However, these days the term has been generalized to refer to semi-precious stone (or just some rock that look good for jewelry), which are usually en cabochon and used on rings.

So "Akik Dice", well, means dice that are made from semi precious stone. But why make dice from rocks? Why not plastic? Most rocks are more durable (harder) than plastic, although some are also very brittle. If proper material was chosen for a dice, it would last for a very long time. Moreover, naturally occuring rocks would have unique pattern and colour, which make the dice more beautiful. Making dice from rocks are challenging from choosing the correct material, cutting them, sanding down to the proper shape, to carving and polishing.

There are three series in this project, which are:

• ADP (Akik Dice Project), "regular" dice, but still, one of a kind.
• ADX (Akik Dice Project Extended), "special" dice, which is unique from an aspect or more.
• SP (Subsidiary Project), other things, which may be not really a dice, etc.

Each series are numbered separately and each number designates a particular dice.

As of now, I have no plans to sell any of the dice, but I still don't know in the future.
