Err, Koplow, I think. I get all my dice including that one from here, but I don't know if a link to a British dice company will be any help to anyone outside Europe.

Bow to me:

What can I say, I have become addicted to collecting casino dice. I think I'll have to leave D&D behind for T&T, just so I can use them all. But check out my six-sided pen holder. 8)

I have to say, I'm not such a fan of GameScience dice anymore. They have significant flaws, and attempting to fix those flaws ruins the look of the dice.

Picked up some green jade stone dice. They're pretty cool, but I didn't read carefully and thought they'd be a little bigger. Oh well!

Dude, it's not the size of the dice that matters, it's the size of the numbers they roll! :D

I suppose that makes sense given they're made from a semi-precious stone.

I've been struggling to find a mini-dice set like the one shipped with Lamentations.

Where did you buy them?

I've not seen what you are referring to, but Koplow makes mini-polyhedral sets.

Yeah, I don't know. I don't see spending $200 for sterling silver dice. No matter how cool.

I hear you. Thirty bucks on these green jade dice already had me wondering if I had lost my mind.

No way man! They highlight that one-page-dungeon in the background... do share!
