In Go Game Guru they used to sell this stones

"Professional Standard Glass Go Stones: Size 36 Biconvex"
https://www.amazon.com/Go-Stones-Profes ... op?ie=UTF8

these are the stones commonly used in the Korean Pro tournaments.

Is there another place to buy them?

I found a review of those stones on bengozen.com -- based on the picture of the box they look like the stones were/are 6brothers brand.

And the (Korean language only) 6brothers.com site has something that looks similar here:

I bought a set of those stones from GoGameGuru and found more variation in the white stones than I would have liked. There are visible color defects and irregularities in the surface of every stone. The black stones look fine. Perhaps I got a bad batch.

There are no such variations in a cheap set of glass stones I bought in the 1980's.
