Each die features bold, eye-catching banding that wraps seamlessly around the form, ensuring no two sides—or pieces—are exactly alike. The polished finish enhances the stone’s depth and subtle translucency, giving the set a luxurious, sculptural presence.

Dating to the mid-century modern era, circa 1960s, these substantial dice embody the period’s fascination with clean geometry, natural materials, and statement décor. Measuring an impressive 4.25 inches square each and weighing approximately 13 pounds for the pair, they have a commanding heft and visual impact that immediately draws the eye. Good vintage condition with light signs of wear, a few small edge chips. Please review the photos for further condition assessment.

Versatile in both form and function, they can be used as distinctive bookends, sculptural paperweights, or standalone decorative objects on a desk, shelf, or coffee table. Equally suited to a refined office, modernist interior, or curated vintage display, this pair offers a perfect blend of playful design and timeless stone craftsmanship. See less
