Mice dice are made of resin or plastic, but there are so many materials to make polyhedrals out of, and they’re ALL pretty.

There are lots of dice that look weird or are made by filling with interesting things. But what about a simple set of dice that is carved from a unique material? These dice are as interesting and beautiful as your character, and each tell their own story.

Solid Copper Dice

Of course, if you’re looking to swing hard in the other direction, are playing an Artificer, or just prefer a more copper-toned aesthetic, these copper metal dice will be right for you. The heavy-duty solid metal set comes with your percentage dice and will last forever. The biggest risk to these dice would be putting a dent in your friends’ table while rolling initiative, so maybe it’s time to invest in a rolling mat or tray, too.

Obsidian Dice

If you don’t have a set of black-on-black dice, these are for you.These obsidian really look very cool. It feels like they should be hard to read, but the numbers are actually very clear. And any dark, mysterious, or roguish character would love a chance to roll these foreboding dice.

Glass Dice

You may have seen this set floating around twitter. I’ve been practically drooling over them for weeks, but I’m clumsy and often roll my dice right out of their tray and onto the floor so maybe I’m not ready for this level of responsibility just yet. Glass dice – aside from being fragile and immediately turning any game much more high-brow feeling – have a gorgeous ability to play with lights and colors and these dice would make casting any magic spell feel like magic.

Ice Dice

These dice are made from water! Should you roll them? I mean, I wouldn’t. But you can throw them in your drinks to keep them cold. A bowl of ice dice would be pretty funny to present to your party at your next session. And unlike all of the other dice in this collection, you can keep making more of your own for every upcoming adventure and campaign.

Wood Dice

Wooden dice are sturdy, lightweight (compared to many of the other options on this list) and will bring a natural softness and beauty to your D&D dice bag. If you’d prefer something less cold and weighty that you’d be okay with dropping on the floor from time to time, you can’t do better than a simple set of wooden dice. These would be perfect for playing a druid or any character who’s more in tune with nature.

Crystal Dice

Do you know anyone who believes in the healing properties of crystals? How about somebody who just really likes pretty rocks? They may love this set of polished agate dice. Each is a little different, making for a set of dice that’s completely unique.
