Well, it depends on the die in question. Your cheaper plastic/epoxy ones are extruded and tumbled to grind away ugly defects. The sharper edged ones take a bit more effort, but nowhere near this level. These ones take the extra effort because of being cut out of stone or crystal.

This is simply amazing. I live not far from the Franklinite mines Franklin in New Jersey. Their collection is unreal and I've been wanting to see someone make dice out of phosphorescent stone. It looks beautiful! There's a large blacklight room with the walls filled with rocks brightly glowing specimens and there's a shop where you can buy loads of it rather cheap because it's rough stone straight from the mine or you can go hunting for your own among the rubble. I have baseball sized stones from the shop, but there are much larger specimens if you want something bigger. I highly recommend taking a look.
