Two things: The engraved numbers on these seem "shallower" than on the other engraved gemstone dice. To be honest, I *thought* they were stickers when I first opened the package, and I took out my other engraved dice to compare. When you run your finger over the sandstone dice, the engraving feels like it's flush with the surface of the sandstone (i.e., a sticker). With the other gemstone dice I have, there's a definite depression where the numbers are engraved. HOWEVER, I spent a good deal of time trying to scratch the numbers off the percentile dice (since it's my least-used dice) with my nails, and they didn't budge. So I'm convinced they're engraved as the drop said. (I was mostly worried because of the drop price--if I paid that much for stickers, I would have been pissed! But the dice are so beautiful that I would have probably kept them anyway ;) .) I wanted to mention this since some other commenters had concerns that these were not actually engraved.
Another, and this is the first time this has happened to me with an MDG set, is that the 3 on my d8 is not centered. I've heard MDG is good about replacing items like this, but I'm not sure if I want to go through the process. It's a minor issue to me as it's still clear what face of the dice it's on. But I included a picture (the die alone and next to the d8 from my Tiger Eye set). Like I said, out of four sets of engraved dice from MDG, this is the first time I had a quality control issue like this.
I also will mention that I actually use all my gemstone dice in gameplay. I roll them in a box that has a little bit of padding in the bottom and felt over the top of the padding (it's a home-made box; I spend all my gaming money on dice, clearly!). I roll the dice one at a time and try to keep from hitting the edges of the box, although it does happen--so far I've had no chipping or other issues. I haven't used the sandstone dice yet.
