This flashy set came to Baduk Club from a gallery in Chiba, Japan. Agate and Onyx are a popular choice in China, where this set probably came from originally.
The white pieces are agate, with a nice variance in color. The black are onyx, also with interesting variations. They are about size 36 (10mm) thick, but note these stones are very hard, so it is difficult to cut with the same precision as slate and shell. The set is almost complete, but one white piece is missing.
The go bowls are some kind of Marble, with lids cut to match. They are polished on the outside but may be rough on the interior. One of the lids is chipped. We would recommend using bowl liners or bags for the stones, as they become dusty with the soft white marble.
This is a Vintage product.
