Vortex is a registered trademark of Chessex Manufacturing. Dice Made in Germany. This 6-sided die is massive! It measures ~50mm tall (which is nearly 2 inches) and weighs in at a whopping 4.6 ounces. Each side has a pip etched into the surface and is very nicely painted. The corners are rounded which helps prevent denting playing surfaces...or a wild roll from really hurting someone! Use this die to impress your gaming buddies, for educational demonstrations (so the whole room can see), for the seeing impaired, or for whatever your imagination can come up with.
