a mono-monostatic body named ‘gömböc’

this fascinating ‘new’ shape named a ‘gömböc’ was invented by two romanian mathematicians several years ago…

The Gömböc mimics the "self-righting" abilities of shelled animals such as turtles and beetles…On a perfectly horizontal, smooth surface without friction a Gömböc will always return to its single stable equilibrium position.

you can read more about it here or even buy one for lots of cash on the official site here
