I remember having a "zocchihedron" back around 1990 while playing in high school. It looked like this, but was plastic and had some kind of beads or something inside of it (I presume for weight). Useless things, since they tending to roll right off the table.

I still have my zocchihedron!

It does roll for a while, but stopping it faster is what the beads/sand is for. Without it (especially if it's metal like OP's photo), these things would roll like a golf ball. They still do, but I can get them to stop on a reasonably level table.

It also doesn't have empty spaces between the numbered faces; it's basically a sphere with 100 circular divots cut out of it. This means that it won't rest between values like the one in OP's photo is doing.
