A rose-crystal gem shot through with crimson plasma veins that wander and flare somewhere below the surface, never settling into the same pattern twice. Bloodrose-pink numerals burn above the dark red interior, rendered live so the veins keep drifting and brightening as the die turns. The full polyhedral set, plus a d2 and a d16, every one carrying its own slow bloom of light.

Bloodrose is the color a wound turns when it is set in gem-glass instead of allowed to close, kept at the moment just before it stops mattering. Conservatory alchemists grew the first ones in crimson brine and swore the veins answered a pulse, though they never agreed whose. The dice keep the habit. They quicken in a closing hand and go quiet the moment the roll is read.
