Orange and Teal Lab Dice
(Obtained 2021 12, made by Chessex)
Interestingly, despite that I have been Very Into Dice for basically my whole life, very few of my pretties have been gifted to me. The vast majority of them are sets I've bought for myself at various points. Which is part of why this set is so special --mom picked them out for me, and put them in my stocking at Christmas!
The Lab Dice line, from Chessex, are various shorter-run experiments they do. They come in test tubes, as both a fun display method, and to indicate their experimental nature. And I don't know if all of them have this quality, but this set in particular has a noticeably heavier *weight* than most dice of the same size. It feels fully luxurious to experience this weight and roll these dice! I'm not sure if the difference is resin-vs-acrylic or what, but it is delightful!
In addition, they're a _very_ me shade of orange. I'm a sucker for a good green in dice (and have _many_ variations to prove it) but finding suitable oranges tends to be a little harder. These are sheer elegance in their simplicity, a good bright colour, a satisfying weight, and an excellent display mechanism!
