02-05-05, 12:34 AM Anyone have suggestions on where I might look to find someone to make sets of custom (standard D20 7-piece sets) dice? Specifically, I'm looking for someone who can make me a set of dice out of onyx. I'm willing to pay pretty high for something like this. Thanks in advance for any links or tips you can provide.

02-05-05, 01:26 AM As far as I know, they dont take custom orders. They also dont have any dice made out of onyx and most of the semi-precious stone dice they sell are 12mm and I'd like to get full sized (16mm) dice. Plus, any bloke with 25-40 bucks can buy a set of dice from them. I'm looking for something a little more unique.

(Not that Crystal Castle dice are not good...I've acutally ordered quite a few sets from them in the past).

I know locally we also have a Rock Museum (imagine the thrill) but if you have something similar you might try that. I know the fellow who runs the local museum has been known to cut stones (either precious, semi-precious, or 'look-its-a-rock-just-a-rock-okay') for people. He certainly has the appropriate tools for it. This of course pre-supposes you have the quantity of Onyx necessary.

Yeah, this looks like the direction I'm going to have to go after doing about 2 hours of web research. Having a hard time finding a company that sells onxy in big enough chunks to make 16mm dice though.

Maybe if I just start digging now...
