I like the rustic look of these and they must have an interesting "roll" to them . Very cool Nikolay : ) Hope your new year is going well

Artist Reply: Thank you, Dave! We're celebrating the Old New year. Well, it's Russia and we have some weird traditions. Wishing you a prosperous year in ever respect.

Very nice, Nikolay! Interestingly, I pulled out a container I have full of dice of various sizes and colors just today. There were 72 of them and I wondered what I could use them for. Anyway, these specimens would not be very good as playing dice---but they make very interesting 'looking' dice. Hope all is good. :) PS: I really like the title.

Artist Reply: These pieces of rock matter named 'mergel' or 'marl' I found on the Black Sea coast (most of the hills there are marl) and decided that they would look funny if I added a few dots on them. Funnily, they're as playable as your 72. Hope you find a good use for them. Thank you! P..S. Marl is the raw material for cement.
