The late afternoon sun shows little mercy as it casts its scorching heat across the desert plains. The brass chainmail pouch secured to your belt feels like a dead weight against your side, but its presence is comforting, and the precious objects that clack softly together inside a reassuring melody. And then you see it, a brilliant blue eye amidst the sea of beige, winking in the sunlight. You wonder whether it is an illusion, a wicked spell cast to lead you to your peril, but you can smell it – the sweet, clean scent of water, its turquoise hue so dazzling that it might have been the product of alchemy. You approach the shore of the oasis with eager hands and mouth, and then you see something glistening beneath the water… Turquoise Gemstone Dice Set Complete set of seven polyhedral dice hand-carved from richly veined Turquoise.
