Dice Questions?

Help Needed

In preparation for the 20000th die ... I would like to have a custom die made ... as such I am looking for a large blank Icosahedron (d20) ... I have tried Koplow ... they dont have a source for blanks ... I have tried ebay ... Google ... and Froogle ... and cannot find anything other than quartz ...

Does anyone know where I can purchase a large (55mm+) blank icosahedron made of an engravable material?

It looks like I am going to have to resort to having one made via rapid prototyping

Wow, i see that you picked up some of the mayfair games Gemstones. I used to love that game. amazing to see it pictured there, but not surprising i guess.

I did not know there was a game with the Gemstones ... Interesting ... I just thought they were competition for Gamescience

Who produced the study that revealed dark dice roll faster and are more likely to land big number up? I remember the explanation involved the physics of heat absorption and how it favored dice faces with greater surface area (i.e. more pips or more digits carved into the side).

Darned if I can remember enough key terms/phrases to look it up on Google, though.
